05-High+Latitude+Climate+Zones

there are 3 different types of climates in the High Latitude Climate Location: from 60N to the North Pole and 60S to the South Pole People herd reindeer Vegetation in high latitude climates includes tundra grasses and bushes, subarctic evergree nforects, and ice cap lichens.
 * 1) subarctic climate
 * 2) evergreen forests, taiga, are found in this area and mainly in Russia
 * 3) severely cold, bitterly winters
 * 4) the summers are a bit above freezing in the summers
 * 5) tundra climate
 * 6) this type of climate is near the poles
 * 7) the tundra is a vast rolling treeless plain
 * 8) the climate is harsh and dry
 * 9) tundra and subarctic
 * 10) lower layers of soil is permafrost
 * 11) during the summer some of it melts and the water spreads on to plants
 * 12) berries and sturdy grasses
 * 13) ice cap climate
 * 14) Antarctica and Greenland
 * 15) bitterly cold {way below freezing}
 * 16) antarctica-- -128 degrees F
 * 17) not many plants grow but lichens, or fungus like and mosses, can live on rocks.

Area is 60 N to the North Pole and 60 S to the South Pole The weather is severely cold
 * Subartctic Climate:** Few people live in these climates because the weather is severely cold and expierence bitter winters and cold summers; taiga- forests
 * Tundra Climate:** closer to the poles than the subaractic climate; vast rolling plains without trees; harsh and dry; permafrost, only the top layers thaw out and only in the summer when sturdy grasses and low growing berry bushes grow
 * Ice Cap Climate:** located in the polar ice caps, Antarctica, and Greenland the climate is bitterly cold and the temperature is usually below freezing; the only vegetation that can grow there are fungus like plants: mosses and lichens
