Global Location

Technically, there are three Tundra biome regions on Earth. First, the Arctic Tundra biome covers the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. It is just south of the polar seas and spans the northern hemisphere. See the Map below for more details. As you can see, it is has to be one of the coldest places on earth given its global location. The second biome region is the Alpine Tundra. It includes: American Cordillera (North and South America), the Alps and Pyrenees (Europe), the Rift Mountains (Africa) and a large portion of the Tibetan Plateau (Tibet). The third tundra biome is the Antarctic, located in the Antarctic region. For this project, we will be focusing on the Arctic Tundra
