Most of the Arctic consists of sea ice and not land. Much of the land that is found in the region is tundra coverd with permafrost. Only a few inches of this permafrost thaws during the short summer months. The desert, especially the hot desert, has a greater variety of plants and animals, does not have permafrost (except Antarctica) and all deserts are located on solid ground, not sea ice.
