Canada's Arctic Tundra
Into the back of beyond....
The vast lowland tundra forms one-tenth of the world's land-mass. It lies between the tree-line and the start of the permanent polar snow and ice. It is endlessly forbidding even during the short summer which gives a brief release to the ice-bound polar bear, the walrus, and the guillemot. Then flowers bloom in these few long days of melting sea ice, thawing lakes, and rousing mosquitos.
