The tundra is one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth. This is because there is little vegetation and very few animals in this region. In the case of the Russian tundra, the term refers to the areas of Russia that are located above the Arctic Circle.
Although very little life exists in the region, there are some exceptions to this rule. In terms of vegetation, you can find some blue-green algae, mosses and lichens. In terms of animals, the most common ones to be found are polar bears, seals, walruses and ocean mammals. You can also find various species of birds.
