Day 2

      Second day into the Polar Tundra and it's freezing. The average temperature is 64 degrees below 0 in fahrenheit. Ever since i came here i wondered on how these plants can survive in this cold. Maybe the plant has evolved into taking the water from the snow and not needing any sun. The second producer in the Polar Tundra is the Bearberry plant. This plant has bright red berries that look like cherries that are meant for bears. These aren't poisonous at all, i read that you can eat these from the bush. I have been eating them for the past 2 days and i actually feel healthier then my original food. There's no pollution to damage the plant so it's all grown naturally from mother nature. Here's a picture of the Bearberry plant.


Question of the day: Would you trust mother nature to eat the berries form this plant?
