Year 10 Classroom lesson

Mt. Everest: an extreme environment...

OK, so we are getting the idea about extremes. A pity more of you didn't bring in some Guinness records...
We also suggested that once you start filling in the map with the extreme environments, they are more common than you might think. Don't forget, if you want to buy an atlas, that the Longman School Atlas had some excellent people working on it...

The world starts to fill up quickly.
There are 3 extreme environments which are being chosen by schools across the country at the moment for their Pilot work: POLAR, HOT DESERT or MOUNTAINS.
Obviously MOUNTAINS has the potential to explore areas like the Himalaya which are well supported with resources.

At the end I showed you some sites of people who have visited Svalbard, and their photos...
Imagine you're about to head off to Svalbard. Do the task below....
