Time is running, out! COME ON UP!!!!!!

Where are the Tundra?The Tundra is mostly located in at the top of

Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and parts of China. It is amazingly cold there so if you think you can handle it come on up with a coat and lots of pairs of glozes. The Tundra is amazing because it stretches all the way across all those country’s. It is a beautiful site there is huge mountains that you can look at but don’t forget your coat. On those mountains it drops to around 20 degrees below 0. So I hope to see you there.

Landforms in the TundraIn the tundra there are a lot of mountain’s ranges in the

tundra also there are a lot of hills and lot’s of blank land. On that land you may go camping but you have to bring a big blanket. Maybe even an air mattress. Also bring a sled because there is a lot of snow perfect places to go sledding. Bring the children.

The animals found in the TundraThere are many animals in the tundra some of

them are the arctic fox, the grey wolf, the musk ox, the caribou, and the polar bear. I will be showing you 3 of them. They are the arctic fox, the grey wolf, and the polar bear.

Plants found in the Tundra

There are very few plants in the tundra, but there are some. Such as the cotton grass, the sedge, cushion, and lichen.

Cotton grass is something like dandelions where you can blow all the leafs off. So make a wish.

lichen is like moss and it grows on rocks and makes the rock look colorful. But also up close it looks very gross.

Cushion plants are lots of the plants in tundra. They are the ones that grow in clumps of flowers. So they looks beautiful.
