Antarctic Tundra
The Antarctic Tundra is a cold, dry biome located in the region surrounding the South Pole. It is characterized by its harsh climate, with temperatures often below freezing and strong winds. The landscape is mostly flat and covered with ice and snow, with very few trees or large plants. Instead, it features mosses, lichens, and small flowering plants that can survive in extreme conditions.
This unique environment supports a variety of wildlife, including species like penguins, seals, and krill. These animals have adapted to the cold and rely on the surrounding ocean for food. The Antarctic Tundra plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and is vital for scientific research on climate change.
