Is the alpine tundra frozen?

Tundra is a cold, treeless region with a short growing season and a layer of permafrost, or permanently frozen subsoil. Arctic tundra occurs in the Arctic region; alpine tundra is found in high mountains scattered all over the world. The temperatures are generally a little higher and the growing season longer in alpine than arctic tundra, and there are some different species of plants and animals. However, both types of tundra still have a layer of permafrost. See Tundra by Peter Moore (Chelsea House, 2006).
