Polar Bear
Arctic Habitat
The temperature doesn't get high in the summer and the Arctic is treeless. In the Arctic tundra soil is frozen 30 cm deep even in the summer. It's called permafrost. There are blizzards. I wouldn't go there because it's cold there. In the Arctic tundra there are very short summers. At the Arctic tundra everything is covered in snow more than half the year. Now that's interesting. At the Arctic tundra it's icy and the land is flat.
