= = =Could you live in a country where the __ average __ temperature in winter is -25ºC and it is perpetually dark for two months of the year?

They moved from place to place __throughout __ the year, building their igloos wherever  they stopped. They walked or travelled on __sledges __ pulled by dogs, looking for caribou and polar bears, which they killed for meat and __fur __.
