How do the Inuit adapt to the cold Arctic climate?

The Inuit have developed unique cultural and technological adaptations to thrive in the Arctic’s harsh climate. Traditional Inuit life revolved around hunting caribou, seals, walruses, whales, seabirds, and fish, which served as major food sources. To protect against the extreme cold, the Inuit fashioned warm, tailored clothing from caribou furs and sealskins. Many Inuit wintered either in snow-block houses generally referred to as igloos or in semisubterranean houses built of stone or sod over a wooden or whalebone framework. During the summer, many Inuit lived in animal-skin tents.
