The arctic Environment. Background. Imagine a cold, windy place where at times the sun hardly shines and at. other times of year barely sets. It is a place with frozen ground, making it. very difficult for trees to grow. Instead of walking through the forest, in. the Arctic tundra, you walk onthe forest, as plants may only grow a few. inches to perhaps one foot tall. At certain times of the year a visitor might. think the tundra appears barren, but during the sunny summers, the land. bursts with wildlife and activity.
