The tundra biome is an ecosystem situated near the North Pole in the Arctic Circle. It is by far the coldest of all biomes. The winters are extremely cold with temperatures typically below -34° C. The summers last only about two months and the temperatures are still very cold ranging from 3° to 12° C.
- In the winter the Chaparral climate, also known as the Mediterranean climate, is mild and moist, but not rainy. During the summer it is very hot and dry.
- is one of the most unique Biomes in the world. It covers one tenth of the earth's land area. The Tundra is located above the tree line towards the North pole.
- The Antarctic Tundra is also a frozen land like the arctic one but has different animals living there .
- The Arctic plains of Greenland may not seem like a very dynamic place in the autumn, as the cold descends and the topsoil slowly freezes
