tundra means "barren land" In the southern part of the Arctic you will see plains (flat land) and small rounded hills. There are many lakes and rivers. In the northern part of the Arctic there are mountains, glaciers (mountains of ice ), plains and islands. The sea ice stays frozen all year. If you travel from the south, the farther north you go, the smaller the trees become and the farther apart the trees grow. Where the trees end, the tundra begins. Trees do not grow on the tundra because it is too cold. The ground is frozen. There is little water and not enough light in the winter time, Only a thin layer of soil (permafrost) melts in the spring .
