In cold climates
in the mountain region
the alpine tundra is the the top of a mountain.

Tundras are located where they are because it is cold enough for the tundras to stay frozen.
the tundras are located on different continents
Tundras are located along the coast of the Arctic Ocean.
Tundras and Ice SheetsArctic and alpine tundras are areas where trees grow sparsely due to a short growing season, low precipitation, strong winds, and in the case of alpine tundras, high altitude. Tundras are often found near permanent ice sheets where, during summer, the ice and snow recede to expose the ground and allow vegetation to grow.
The arcyic tundras are located at 17 degrees latitude in africa!
A tundra is a region that is cold year round and has very little few plants. Tundras usually have permafrost, a layer of soil that is frozen year round, but they don't necessarily have to in order to be considered a tundra. Tundras can be classified as Arctic, Antarctic, or Alpine. Arctic tundra regions can be found in northern areas of Canada, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Antarctic tundras are located on the continent of Antarctica or the islands nearby, such as the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are just off the coast of South America. Alpine tundras are areas that are so high in altitude that trees cannot grow there. The cold temperatures and lack of plant life (aside from moss and lichens), make these regions tundras. These tundras are the only kind that don't have permafrost. They can be found in mountainous regions all over the world.
In Northern Asia, the climate is frigid and ranges from forests, to mountains, to tundras. The forests are coniferous, and the mountains are alpine.

Tundras are only found in the Northern Hemisphere, located at latitudes of around 60 degrees. Currently the size of the tundra biome is changing due to global warming.
