Life in cold region is very difficult. It is thinly populated and the people have semi-nomadic life. Eskimos, Lapps, etc. live in igloos in winter and tupiks (animal tents) in summer. Hunting and fishing are major occupations of tundra people. Since few decades there are some changes in their lifestyle. They have started to live in wooden houses and engaged in reindeer farming, mining, lumbering etc.

People living in cold regions are basically adaptive to cold extreme weather. They tend to food with high calories. They cover their body with animal furs and protect themselves from extreme cold. They live in igloo house which is made up of snow and ice, surprisingly this type of home keeps them warm. When the weather conditions are normal for them, they actually prepare for the worst.

This is how people live in cold environment.
