Biomes tundra was amazing to see and experience. It lies just above the Arctic Ocean, in the world's highest northern latitudes. There were lots of different animals in the tundra, like caribou, reindeer, lemming and the polar bear. The tundra experiences 24 hour days, so it was hard to sleep because the sun always shone through the cabin’s windows. Tundra is one of the driest and coldest places on earth. All tundra locations can reach below freezing on any night, even in the tropical locations. Last night it was -10C. In the summer the soil gets very soggy because of the melting permafrost. Most of the plants and shrubs bloom early in autumn. In this short period of time the flowers are brilliant; it’s like the area comes from another planet it’s so wonderful. The cabin we stayed in was much like the one in Antarctica. Some armed forces send their troops to stay up here for extensive training. They do this because the people who live up in the tundra live longer, studies show that the air is much cleaner than the air at lower altitudes. Pretty cool, I should stay up here.
