Tundra
The Tundra is located near the Arctic Ocean and all around the North Pole. The Tundra is also located in Canada in the Northwest Territories.
It is extremely cold in the tundra. It is really dry in the region where trees can't grow. Tundra is covered in snow half of the year. The long, cold winters and short, chilly summer prevents the trees from growing.
The landforms of this region consist of frozen soil called Permafrost. This prevents water from draining away.
