Here's an interesting-looking plant that grows all over the place here in Pond Inlet. We saw them in Greenland, too. They look oddly familiar; it took me a while to realize why. This is clearly the plant upon which Horton heard a Who. I was once in California and saw trees that looked exactly like the odd trees in Dr. Seuss' drawings, and realized that while I had thought his imaginary worlds were pure cartoon fantasies, in fact to some small extent he must have been drawing from life. Now I realize that he was faithfully depicting the arctic habitat as well. What a genius.
To further support my theory, I suggest that you look up a picture of a narwhal. See? Obviously drawn by Dr. Seuss. I rest my case.
