Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tundra is found in the regions just below the ice caps of the Arctic, extending across North America, to Europe, and Siberia in Asia. Much of Alaska and about half of Canada are in the tundra biome. Tundra is also found at the tops of very high mountains elsewhere in the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tundra and alpine systems are not the first images that come to mind when most people think about Africa. However, two areas of the continent have mountain areas that are both high enough in elevation and consistently cold enough to sustain tundra-type vegetation.
