Useful Information about Greenland




Physical geographers refer to tundra as an area where the tree growth is delayed by low temperature and short growing seasons.
The tundra is a very wide windy area with winds blowing upwards at 48 to 97 km/h.
In terms of precipataion it is desert-like with only about 15-25 cm falling each year. Although precipitation is light, evaporation is also relatively minimal



Fast Fact #2: The term “Tundra” comes from Kildin Sami t­undar uplands
