The Frozen Tundra is a cold, treeless region found in the Arctic and Antarctic areas. It is characterized by permafrost, which is permanently frozen ground that prevents the growth of deep-rooted plants. The climate is harsh, with long, frigid winters and short, cool summers. Despite its extreme conditions, the tundra supports a variety of life, including animals like caribou and arctic foxes. Vegetation is limited to hardy species such as mosses, lichens, and low shrubs. The tundra plays a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystem, acting as a carbon sink and influencing global climate patterns.
