Global distribution of cold environments
\nYou may need to be able to describe where you find them:
\n\u00b7 Two main glacial areas \u2013 Antarctica and The Arctic
\n\u00b7 Tundra\/periglacial \u2013 generally above 60 degrees north
\n\u00b7 Alpine areas \u2013 West cost of Canada and USA (Rockies); West coast of South America ( The Andes); South Island, New Zealand; The Himalayas, Asia; The Alps, Europe; West coast of Scandinavia \u2013 Finland
\nAlso you need to be aware that maritime areas such as the Arctic and Southern Oceans are included. Much of the Arctic Ocean is covered in floating ice, although many scientists believe that this coverage will reduce substantially in the next century as a result of global warming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
