About Life on the Tundra
The tundra is the land above the tree line, where the ground stays frozen a few feet down all year and summer lasts only a few weeks. In that short thaw the plain turns soft and boggy, and caribou cross it in long lines while small flowers open at their feet. Then the light drops and the frost comes back. The aurora starts up over the snow.
