No, there's permafrost or just ice.

hot and cold
The climate and vegetation in Europe has ranged from several ice ages, and tundra like vegetation; to our present very variable climate and considerable variety in vegetation.
Regions with a polar climate are characterized by a lack of warm summers. Every month in apolar climate has an average temperature of less than 10 °C (50 °F). Regions with polar climatecover over 20% of the Earth. The sun shines for long hours in the summer, and for many fewer hours in the winter.
The climate zone that has permanent snow and ice is known as the polar climate zone. These regions are characterized by extremely cold temperatures and little to no vegetation due to the freezing conditions.
ahhhhh
Mountains are characterized by tall peaks, rugged terrain, and varying climatic conditions depending on elevation. Polar ice caps are characterized by vast expanses of ice and snow, extreme cold temperatures, and minimal vegetation due to the harsh conditions. Both mountains and polar ice caps play important roles in regulating global climate patterns.
A polar ice scientist studies the ice sheets and glaciers in the polar regions to understand how they are changing due to climate change. They typically conduct research on ice cores, ice flow, and sea ice dynamics to assess the impact on global sea level rise and polar ecosystems. Their work contributes to better predicting future climate trends and informing policies for mitigation and adaptation.
Polar ice caps are covered in permanent ice and snow, so vegetation is extremely limited. Only a few mosses, lichens, and algae can survive in these harsh conditions, typically found around the edges of the ice cap where some bare ground might be exposed.
an example of this would be like... the relationship between a carribou and the vegetation. The carribou eats the vegetation, and the carribou's waste provides fertilizer for the plants.
tundra and ice
Antarctica used to have a more temperate climate during the time of the dinosaurs, with lush vegetation and a warmer temperature. Over millions of years, the continent has shifted to its current polar climate with ice cover due to continental drift and changing environmental conditions.
