The Tundra Biome
The Tundra Biome
The tundra is located around the North Pole in the Arctic Circle. For most of the year it is covered in snow. In the short summers, the snow and ice melt to leave pools of meltwater. The layer of earth beneath the tundra is frozen all year long. This is called the permafrost. Industrial activity in the tundra may add to the world's environmental problems. Dust and grime make the ice darker, so less heat is reflected from the ice and global warming is increased.
