The answer is the Tundra. See below....Iris INTRODUCTION The Arctic is a very cold place in the most northern part of the world. It begins at the North Pole and ends at the Arctic Circle ( an imaginary line on maps). In Canada's north, parts of the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut are in the Arctic.(see map ) THE LAND
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 .

The flat treeless land near the Arctic Circle is called tundra. It is characterized by cold temperatures, a short growing season, and a layer of permafrost below the surface. The vegetation in the tundra consists of low-growing plants, mosses, and lichens.
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
The vegetation in the Arctic Circle is typically limited to tundra plants such as mosses, lichens, grasses, and small shrubs. Trees are scarce due to the harsh climate conditions such as cold temperatures, permafrost, and a short growing season. Adaptations like shallow root systems and the ability to photosynthesize at low temperatures are common among plants in this region.

The Arctic tundra is found in the northernmost parts of the Earth, primarily within the Arctic Circle. This region includes parts of Canada, Alaska, Russia, Scandinavia, and Greenland. It is characterized by cold temperatures, permafrost, and low-growing vegetation.
It is south of the Arctic circle.
The biome that occurs around the Arctic Circle is the tundra. Characterized by its cold temperatures, short growing seasons, and permafrost, the tundra supports a limited variety of vegetation, primarily mosses, lichens, and low shrubs. Wildlife in this biome includes species adapted to harsh conditions, such as polar bears, arctic foxes, and migratory birds. The tundra plays a crucial role in Earth's climate regulation and carbon storage.
The Arctic Circle passes through the Arctic Ocean.
A polar circle is either the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle.
