For low-carb diet fans the Inuit diet is fascinating and supportive of their lifestyle choice. The traditional Inuit diet is high in protein and fat - in fact about 75% of their daily energy is derived from fat as it's impossible to grow plants for food in the Arctic, though Inuit do gather naturally available plants such as roots, berries, grasses and seaweed. Studies have shown that the Inuit's extremely low-carbohydrate diet has no adverse effects on their health.

The Northern Lightsare more properly known as the aurora borealis, after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek north wind, Boreas.
The lights occur in northern areas and frequently appear as a greenish or reddish glow, sometimes sweeping across the sky like a kaleidoscopic mist. The aurora borealis is most commonly seen from September to October and from March to April.
