This is the primary location of the tundra. This is the Arctic tundra during the winter. It is completely covered in snow for seven or eight months of the year. This is also the Arctic tundra during its short warm season.
Miniature trees grow, and clumps of grass called tussocks create little bumps all over the land.
The Arctic tundra is found in the most northernmost parts of the earth. During the summer months, parts of the weather is warm enough to melt the ice in the top few feet of land. The rest of the land, called permafrost, stay frozen all year round. The permafrost keeps the roots of trees and other plants from growing very long. It also prevents water from sinking into the ground.
