The Arctic Tundra
Know what the Arctic tundra is — a vast, treeless landscape with permafrost (permanently frozen ground) just below the surface, a very short growing season in summer when mosses, lichens, and tough grasses burst into life, and home to caribou/reindeer, musk oxen, lemmings, and snowy owls
Typical age: 7–9 years
“Does your child know what tundra is — the huge flat landscape near the Arctic with no trees, frozen ground underneath, and short summers where everything bursts into life?”
