Having an area of 11,563,300 km square. Tundra vegetation is composed of shrubs, mosses, lichens and lots of scattered trees. Divided into three layers s Arctic tundra, alpine tundra, and Antarctic tundra.

Found in upper areas of Alaska, Canada, and Siberian borders. Generally, the soil is permafrost throughout the year. Plant Like Blackberry and lichens are well adapted here. In winter temperatures can go up to -28 degrees.
