It is found on large landmasses, away from [[ocean]]s, usually at [[latitude]]s from 50° to 70°N. Because there are no large landmasses at such latitudes in the [[Southern Hemisphere]], it is only found at high ''altitudes ''(heights) in the [[Andes]] and the mountains of [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]'s [[South Island]]. These climates are in groups ''Dfc'', ''Dwc'', ''Dfd'' and ''Dwd'' in the [[Köppen climate classification]] This type of climate has very big changes in temperature throughout the year. In winter, temperatures can drop to -40&nbsp;°C (also -40&nbsp;°F) and in summer, the temperature may go above 30&nbsp;°C (86&nbsp;°F). But the summers are short, as there are no more than three months of the year with an average temperature of at least 10&nbsp;°C (50&nbsp;°F). However, at least one must have an average temperature of at least 10&nbsp;°C (50&nbsp;°F) . In addition, the coldest month must be below 0°C (32°F) The subarctic climate is in between the humid continental climate and the polar climate. The subarctic climate is found in the these places: * Much of [[Siberia]] * The northern half of [[Scandinavia]] (milder winters in coastal areas) * Most of [[Alaska]] * Much of [[Canada]] from about 50°N to the [[tree line]], including: **Southern [[Labrador, Canada|Labrador]] **Northern [[Quebec]] except for the far north **Far northern [[Ontario]] **
