White and poofy, these little numbers grow all over the high arctic. History dictates that the Thule people used to pick the cotton and soak it in whale blubber to heat there homes.
Highlands, High Arctic, (500km above arctic circle) maybe more! help out.
These kinda plants are everywhere. But they were key to the existence to the Thule people. You can still find Thule remains/foundations around the area. Pretty mind blowing stuff. Just looks like dandelions now.
