Barren Land
Icy, Vast, Treeless,
Stark
Nestled in the
northernmost latitudes
Cold long dark winters
and short soggy summers
The world’s youngest
biome has permanently frozen soil
Mosses, Heaths, Shrubs,
Grasses, Lichens and low ground cover
Home to thousands of
insects and also migrating birds
Caribou, Wolverines,
Polar Bears, Snowshoe Rabbits
But Pollution from mines
and oil drilling
Damage the fragile
environment
Global Warming also
threatens
The shrinking land
