Warm summers… but long, dark, cold winters. Here in the far north of the major continents, we find the widest temperature ranges to be found anywhere on earth. One of the last great wildernesses, the few cities that are here are the coldest on the planet. A place of snow, swamp, lake and trees. These are the lands of the boreal forest. The taiga. This is the subarctic.

This region has the Climate of Alaska and the Climate of Siberia that you can imagine - long dark cold winters but mild short summers. The distinguishing feature of the subarctic climates is a very wide range of temperature between a warm summer and very cold winter.

Found all across the top of the two northern continents of North America and Eurasia, these climates encompass most of the northern halves of Russia and Canada, along with Alaska and most of Scandinavia.

This is the climate of that most forbidding of global names, Siberia, and is home to the coldest cities on earth - Anchorage, Murmansk, Norilsk and Yakutsk to name a few. It is also home to Verkhoyansk, the place with the most extreme temperature range anywhere on earth.
