The ice cap region is characterized by extreme cold temperatures, perpetual ice cover, and limited sunlight, which create harsh conditions for plant growth. The soil is often frozen and lacks essential nutrients, while the short growing season and strong winds further hinder vegetation. Consequently, only specially adapted organisms, such as mosses and lichens, can survive in these environments, resulting in minimal plant life overall.

What country has the highest elevation?
I assume you are referring to the ice cap located on the extreme north (or "top") of Earth. This is actually not a country but, as mentioned above, an ice cap, known as the Arctic region or the North Pole.

Why is there little or no vegetation in the ice caps region of the polar zone?
Trees cannot grow in land way less than zero degree.
What types of vegetation survive on ice cap?
Vegetation on ice caps is limited and consists mainly of mosses, lichens, and algae that can withstand extreme cold temperatures and sparse nutrients. These plants are adapted to grow in harsh environments with short growing seasons. Additionally, some hardy grasses and sedges may grow on the edges of ice caps where conditions are slightly milder.
Which countries have ice cap as a vegetation zone?
Countries in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, such as Greenland, Canada, Russia, Norway, and Antarctica, have ice caps as a vegetation zone due to the extreme cold temperatures and lack of soil for plants to grow. Vegetation in these areas is limited to mosses, lichens, and algae that can survive in such harsh conditions.
What type of vegetation is found in a polar ice cap?
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.
What countries in monsoon Asia have land in an ice cap vegetation?
Nepal, China, India, & Bhutan
