The Tundra Climate - Secrets of World Climate #11
The treeless Arctic. A desolate region, where few things grow. This is the northern tip of our planet… this is the tundra. In this video we look at the Tundra Climate of cool summers and how it influences the vegetation that can grow here. ❄️🌬🌨

The distinguishing feature of the tundra climate is low summer temperatures leading to an absence of tree growth. Winters can be very cold, but also relatively mild, depending upon proximity to the ocean. Permafrost - permanently frozen ground below the surface - exists throughout these regions all year round.
❄️🌬🌨
Arctic tundra is found all along the coasts of the Arctic Ocean, including the northern coasts of Alaska and Siberia in Russia. The largest tundra region, though is in Canada where it makes up much of the Northwest Territories, and most of Nunavut. All the coasts of Greenland are made up of the tundra and its climate also.
Alpine tundra occurs in upland areas of Iceland and Norway, along with high mountain areas in the Alps of Europe, the Himalayas of Asia, the Rockies of North America, and the Andes in South America, but such tundra has no permafrost. The same applies to Antarctic tundra, which occurs in small areas around the southern tip of South America, and the northern part of the Antarctic peninsula, where moderating winds from the Southern Ocean keep winter temperatures mild.
❄️🌬🌨
Due to the hostility of the climate and the difficulties of building on top of the permafrost, few large settlements occur here, with Nuuk, the capital of Greenland being the largest, with a population of only 18,000
