The tundra biome is often called the frozen desert. this is because it gets little rain. But because of the the permanently frozen layer of soil under the ground (permafrost) it stays cooler than the desert biomes because the desert biomes would be very hot under tose huge sand dunes and all of the heat that the deserts are consuming to keep dry.
