Mining in the arctic Home

The people that mine in  the arctic are mining so they support their families. They do this in sub-zero weather every day all year. The miners are exposed to limited sunlight, freezing temperatures, and slow natural growth.

 

They mine in the arctic are risking their lives to mine up ores like diamond, copper, and silver. They are mining the minerals that are mainly used in jewelry, and tools.  Some of the minerals they mine are sometimes made into tools and shipped back and used  to mine other minerals.
