Introduction A biome refers to an expansive landmass associated with different animals and plants. The features of a given biome rely on the level of precipitation and temperatures that the area receives. Due to exposure to the biome’s conditions for an extended period, the plants and animals adapt to the requirements to enhance their survival. Major biomes within earth include the tropical rainforests, grassland, desert, tundra, chaparral, savanna, boreal forest, and temperate deciduous forest. Each of these biome’s characteristics possesses the same features in any part of the world. The phrase tundra emanates from the Finnish language “tunturia,” which means plain with no trees (Nicklen, P. (2020). The characteristics of this biome are essential in defining the conditions in the arctic. Thorough research on the Artic biome is vital to understanding the area’s geographical features and humans and adaptations to enhance survival in this region. Geography Location on the Planet The Arctic lies within the north pole of the earth, commonly associated with polar conditions of climate, animal, and plant life, among other aspects. The Arctic originates from the Greek word arktos, which means bear (Let’s Talk Science, 2020). The time is also assigned to the northern constellation of the bear. The artic has often been used to refer to the Arctic Circle, a geographical line demarcated at the latitude of 66 degrees and 30 degrees north of the equator. Compared to other biomes, the Arctic Tundra formed 1000 years ago is the youngest. The arctic tundra biome lies in the northern hemisphere within a latitude and longitude of 71.2 degrees North and 156 degrees west (Geodiode, 2020). The coordinates might moderately vary due to the earth’s axial tilt. The arctic biome is estimated to be 11.5 million km2 land covering regions spanning from far northern areas of Alaska, Russia, and Scandinavia, Canada, to the forests in Taiga. The artic biome is estimated to cover around one firth of the earth and is associated with immersed winds, coldness, snow cover, and lack of trees. Topography/Landforms The artic ground is categorized as permafrost, which implies a ground that remains frozen for temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or colder for two or more years. In areas of heightened altitude, permafrost covers a few feet beneath the soil’s surface. However, the frozen ground can further extend to a depth of around 683 meters (Geodiode, 2020). These conditions make it unlikely for trees to grow within the arctic biome. However, the flat and occasionally rocky plains tend to support lower plants like bog, grass, small scattered trees, shrubs, and moss (Geodiode, 2020). The Arctic is commonly dark and cold in winter, while the surface layer of frost and snow begins to melt in summer, making the artic muggy. The tundra of the artic encompasses streams, lakes, and swamps. The landscape features of the Arctic are created by permafrost and include ice wedges, pingos, polygons, thermokarsts, and ice wedges. These features can enhance in length or change over the years instead of the millennium or century needed to record such changes in other environments. Continuous permafrost formations are present in southwestern Alaska, where the ground remains frozen everywhere apart from the rivers and lakes. On the other hand, discontinuous permafrost occupies the tundra and forests wit
