The Tundra – High Speed

The animals here are masters of insulation. From the thick, hollow fur of the and musk ox to the seasonal camouflage of the arctic fox , every inhabitant is built to conserve heat. It is a fragile ecosystem, currently on the front lines of climate change, where the rhythm of life is dictated entirely by the stubborn presence of ice.

Because of a layer of permanently frozen soil called , deep roots cannot take hold. This creates a "treeless plain" dominated by hardy survivors: low-lying mosses, lichens, and dwarf shrubs. In the brief summer window, the sun barely sets, and the surface thaw creates a network of bogs and ponds that draw in millions of migratory birds. The Tundra
