The Tundra lies between 55º and 70º latitude north, with the coldest, driest, and most brutal conditions for life on Earth. The youngest biome, formed just 10,000 years ago, stretches bleakly across a flat, treeless landscape. Tundra is taken from the Finnish word tunturia, meaning “barren ground.” Parts of Greenland, northern Canada, and polar cap belong to the arctic Tundra.
