There are
two different types of tundra: artic and alpine
The ALPINE
TUNDRA is found at high elevations,
such as the Himalayas and Kilimanjaro.
The ARTIC
TUNDRA is found at high latitudes,
such as Alaska and Russia.
Tundra regions can be found in the
extreme northern latitudes of the globe.

The PERMAFROST is the permanently frozen
subsoil of the polar regions. A layer of ice just
below the ground which remains frozen throughout the
year and makes plant life almost impossible.
The
AURORA BOREALIS or the NORTHERN LIGHTS is
a metrological phenomenon which occurs only at night
in the northern artic tundra regions. The rising of
the sun creates wavy rays of colored lights which
seem to be dancing on the sky.
