video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The Tundra and Ice Biomes of the Arctic and Antarctic. In this video we explore how the weak sun leads to cold temperatures year round and what kind of plants and vegetation, if any, can survive here. Moss and lichen are the most common in the tundra, but upon the ice sheet of Greenland and Antarctica, nothing survives the year-round freeze. We find the tundra along the coasts of Siberia in Russia, in the north of Alaska, and in northern Canada, which possesses most of the treeless tundra in the world by land area, from the Northwest Territories to Nunavut. The coastal areas of Greenland are also in the tundra biome. The ice biome is found only in Greenland and Antarctica, which, between them hold most of the world's fresh water. Isolated glaciers in mountainous areas in the Rockies, Andes, Alps and Himalayas make up a tiny fraction of the ice biome, and similarly only small areas of alpine tundra in comparison to the Arctic swathes of treeless wastes. The correlation between the tundra and ice biomes, and the tundra and icecap climates is very strong, and explains the near identity of names applied to each

Amazing video! The polar biomes are such a fascinating and beautiful part of the world. As i live in Brisbane Australia, it's a biome that I'm totally unfamiliar with except for my limited travels. I've always been so fascinated by ice, snow and tundra. Its so cool seeing how a difference of just a few degrees can make such a big difference on the scenery and biome that can be found in the region. That really fascinates me so much. I love how you spelled it out with the difference between tundra and ice cap.
As a whole, this series was so interesting! So excited for the next one. Regardless of what it is, I know it'll be a lot of fun. Have an amazing week!

I love your videos! Thanks for all the teaching. I am okay with the tundra and the permafrost but for icecap I particularly hate it. And I knew what is the next video (click read more to reveal )
I know geodiode are going to teach what the biomes do with attitude, and tell what is -premontane-, -montane-; -subalpine and -alpine- and -alvar- I dont know what are those, but you are great!

Can you imagine the life of Inuits (especially before goods were flown in, living in 5 months of darkness, constantly having to hunt for seal to be able to use its oil for heating, if you don't go out in the complete darkness, bore a hole in the ice and bait the seal and hunt it down then your kids will freeze / starve to death. Bruh these people are hardier than any other human.

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed this brief tour of the poles of our planet. Don't forget to check out the Tundra Climate and Icecap Climate videos that I also produced, which give a complete picture on these parts of the world. And let me know if any of you have directly experienced these climates and biomes!

Since you asked, extremely interestings videos. My favourites were habitability and Asian monsoon. Videos were answer to many questions, but also raised one question that I had not thought of before, why do grasslands exist instead of forests becoming straight to shrublands.

I love your videos! As someone who just moved from an oceanic climate country in NW Europe to Norway with its continental, taiga, tundra and ice cap climates, I have been learning a ton about my new home from you and what makes it what it is!

Could you make a video on the predicted Climate Zones 50 years from now? What will the Koppen-Geiger system look like at this time and how will the world need to change as a result of that?
reply

So bummed that this series is over already, but I can't wait to see what comes next! If your next project needs any contribution from a cold desert-dweller, let me know!

Absolutely fabulous. Would you do a video on relationship between ocean currents and climate. Also the effect of microclimate on overall climate of certain regions.
reply

you have explained everything in detail. I really appreciate your hard work. and the background music is awesome. love from INDIA.

So we should be cutting down the imposing trees above the current taiga region in order to prevent runaway warming?
reply

Loved it! So interesting as always, I just hope this is not done yet, and we get to see more projects!
reply

Thanks it helps a lot! You are the only one who shows how does it look and make it small and understanding
