In the Mountains

People live in all kinds of places, from bustling cities to remote mountains, and from the cold tundra to hot deserts. Our physical environment can affect the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we build, and how we get around. This fascinating series takes readers on a journey around the world. By focusing on familiar, everyday activities, it shows how people's lives can be very different, but also very similar, to our own.
Mountains are beautiful places to visit for sports or vacations, but many people live in them all the time. People who live high up in mountains have to cope with strong winds and thinner air. Find out what it's like to live on a mountain, from getting around on skis to growing food on steep mountain slopes.
