Do any Eskimos actually live in igloos?

Not permanantly, but when on hunting and fishing trips, some more traditional eskimo's do. And as a Canadian, I can say I live in a two story brick home, and it isn't cold year round.

the Eskimo belong to the Mongoloid Arctic race. They are characterized by low stature, a stocky build, a relatively dark skin, a high cranium, stiff dark hair and a characteristic eye fold. The nose and the face with its high cheekbones are relatively narrow. There is very little hair growing on the face. Colour-blindness is almost unknown. \nEskimos have darker skin than would be expected if the vitamin D theory of lighter skin is the only explanation. I suggest the Eskimos may be an example of a "position-locked" group that produces more testosterone. The increased\ntestosterone in this group may be why they have darker skin than would be expected.

All animals live on the Tundra

Yes they do. I have known several who have been diving in Prince William Sound and Resurrection Bay.\nI don't have personal proof but would guess that there are a number of suitable locations in South East AK. \nP.S.Bring a Dry Suit\nCheck with \nhttp://www.divealaska.net/

Yes.\n\nUnder the North Pole is just water- the americans and Russians have been sending submarines under there for years.\n\nAntartica was first recorded as being mapped centuries ago- some guy called Peri Reis (something like that) got credited for it but the map was around too long ago for them to have had the technology to see under the ice. The suggestion being that Antartica used to be warmer. Then Antartica disappeared from maps for several hundred years and only started reappearing fairly recently.\nEven then it has only been in the last 50 years or so that we've managed to be able to establish the shape of the rock below the ice and yes, it matches the Peri Reece (or whatever his name was lol) guys map!

No, that would be a lesbian eskimo.

Because, No one would Want to live there, for any length of time, so, why would anyone spend money on the technology to do so? You could not be outside for any length of time, there are not pizza joints, hello?\n\n \nAntarctica is a country of ice. Because the Earth is tilted, there are six months of light and six months of darkness. The temperatures can drop to below -100 degrees centigrade.\nSome scientists work below ground to record such things as earthquakes. Many scientists live in heated houses, but some homes are also under the ice.\n\nDespite the problems associated with living in Antarctica, significant scientific research has been accomplished, including studies of glaciology, meteorology, geomagnetism, international weather control, seismology, and ionospheric physics. The nutrient-rich oceans that surround Antarctica are an important focus of research. Biologists have discovered that fish in Antarctic waters have an antifreeze component to their blood that allows them to live in subzero temperatures. Studies conducted on the life histories of penguins, seals, and krill (a potential world food source) have provided much new information on the ecology of these species. Internationally conducted studies have resulted in an improved understanding of krill reproduction and allowed scientists to improve their predictions of safe limits for krill harvesting.\n\n Psychological and sleep studies are frequently conducted during the winter, when Antarctica is isolated from the outside world.\n\nTravel in Antarctica is difficult because there are gaps in the ice called crevasses which are extrememly dangerous when hidden in the snow.\n\nAre you Packed yet?

Maybe ice worms, they live in glacial ice.  Some microbes have been found in Antarctica ice.  I can't find any information if Orcas or leopard seals hang out at the North Pole.  Emperor Penguins live at Antarctica.

im a proud Canadian too, and while in Hawaii in the late 80's we encountered many ppl who asked us if we lived in igloos and rode dogsleds to work!\nsheesh! i said no we live in houses and drive cars and work in towers and stuff too...good grief... do us Canadaians think all hawaiians live in huts and wear grass skirts all day?\nnooo. but then- we are a smart bunch over here int he north :)\nCANADA ROCKS!!!!!

What a very interesting topic you have brought up.....I am an Inupiaq (Eenopak) the best I can do for you in English..Just say it like you see it...I am what you call an Eskimo which we are not.It is an Indian word... Inupiaq is our word for "The Real People" and have been existing in the Northern Most Regions of "Alaska, Siberia, Canada, Greenland. We all can speak the same Language. Our belief of Good and Evil has existed but not in the sense of putting them into human form...It also has to do with nature and everything in it and man having supreme dominion. With survival of the Fittest...Although their were Shamans that practiced the dark arts to control villages to gain wealth. The Good Shamans practiced healing using the natural plants and chants which were passed down and learned by the tribes. This is a dying art but still shared through the family lineages. I still know my family lineage song and passing it down to my relatives. This is our way...The only other thing I can bring up on the subject is we knew of a creator who was good, then there had to be something evil...It is the law of nature. Me I would like to spend my eternity with my tribe when things were serene before the coming of the white race, who seems to bring nothing but distruction in its path. and destroying the ecosystem of our precious homeland...but a calm serene world with our way of life and one with NATURE.....The evil shamans that once ruled certain villages along the northern coast of Alaska at one time controlled over 8,000 Inuit and amassed wealth and showed no respect. They were eventually killed off when the first Europeons brought Alcohol...When they passed out, the people in fear would butcher the shaman and spread his body so that he could not come back to the village using their magic spells they practiced.

"Eskimo" is an American Indian word which translates to "eater of raw meat". Ironically, scientists put the Indians in a separate anthropological category while the Eskimos are considered more closely related to the natives of northern Asia. The people we call Eskimos originally came from Asia across a land bridge (which no long exists) into northern North America (now call Alaska). They gradually spread across the Artic regions. There are approximately 1,500 Eskimos living in the Soviet Union and about 50,000 in Greenland.

People do not live AT the north Pole because it is ocean, frozen in the winter.  They live nearer to the north pole because the is land reaching towards that area from areas that are wram enough to live.  The South Pole is many hundreds of miles from the coast of Antarctica.  Antarctica is completely isolated from major land masses that are populated.  Antarctica is a high ice cover plateau which is much colder than the northern equivalent (see source FAQ for why).\n\nNo people settled in Antarctica.  However these days there are year round scientific stations in Antarctica.  At the very South Pole it would be impossible to live there without modern support infrastructure.  I've spent over 2 years at the South Pole (the actual pole!) working as a scientist.  But in some ways everyone is always just a visitor.  I have a friend that has spent over 5 years there!  He is also still a visitor.\n\nSo - South Pole is much colder.  But the actual North Pole is ocean and no one lives there either.  People live neaer the Norht Pole because it is warmer and closer to inhabited areas.\n\nDAS

I am emailing your question to my son in T.O. who has an M.A. in environment studies and who works with imigrants in Canada on a daily basis. Hope he can help you.
