Here's why:
* Seal Hunting: The Arctic has a long history of seal hunting by indigenous peoples. Seals were a vital resource for food, clothing, and other necessities.
* Blubber: Seals have a thick layer of blubber (fat) that was rendered into oil.
* Fuel: Seal oil was used as fuel for lamps and heating in homes and for various other purposes.
While the exact location within the Arctic may vary depending on specific cultural practices, the use of seal oil as fuel is a common practice across various Arctic communities.
