Plants of the frozen north
Far in the north, on the edge of the great sea that reaches to the North
Pole, there is a great, flat plain called the tundra. Most of the time
this plain is bare and frozen. The days are dark and sunless.
But, for a short time during the year, there are sunny days. The tundra
warms up and the ice melts. Water soaks into the ground. And then plants
bloom!
