The Tundra Biome and Ice Biome - Biomes#8

- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- The Tundra and Ice Biomes of the Arctic and Antarctic. In this video we explore how the weak sun leads to cold temperatures year round and what kind of plants and vegetation, if any, can survive here. Moss and lichen are the most common in the tundra, but upon the ice sheet of Greenland and Antarctica, nothing survives the year-round freeze.
We find the tundra along the coasts of Siberia in Russia, in the north of Alaska, and in northern Canada, which possesses most of the treeless tundra in the world by land area, from the Northwest Territories to Nunavut. The coastal areas of Greenland are also in the tundra biome.
The ice biome is found only in Greenland and Antarctica, which, between them hold most of the world's fresh water. Isolated glaciers in mountainous areas in the Rockies, Andes, Alps and Himalayas make up a tiny fraction of the ice biome, and similarly only small areas of alpine tundra in comparison to the Arctic swathes of treeless wastes.
The correlation between the tundra and ice biomes, and the tundra and icecap climates is very strong, and explains the near identity of names applied to each.

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed this brief tour of the poles of our planet. Don't forget to check out the Tundra Climate and Icecap Climate videos that I also produced, which give a complete picture on these parts of the world. And let me know if any of you have directly experienced these climates and biomes!
Just wanna say I’m a big fan of your channel and looking forward what would come next. Keep going :)
You deserve a golden like 👍
Thanks it helps a lot! You are the only one who shows how does it look and make it small and understanding
So bummed that this series is over already, but I can't wait to see what comes next! If your next project needs any contribution from a cold desert-dweller, let me know!
It has been a very interesting journey through all of the biomes of earth, viewed with the sense of beauty that characterize this channel!! 👍👌👏👏👏
This series is very good! This also helped with my homework. Thank you very much!
Sensacional essa série sobre os biomas mundiais. Muito bom como aprendizado
Thanks for such a beautiful and informative series
Glad you enjoyed it! And you're welcome!
It's so brilliantly compiled. Thanks Geodiode
Thanks v much!
cool videos!! so relaxing made me feel at ease and grasps the information more clearly.
Another wonderful episode
Beautiful, solitary, and forbidding. Thanks for helping to make my geography course come to life.
Thank YOU for that series. Much love ❤️
You're welcome!
I love your videos! As someone who just moved from an oceanic climate country in NW Europe to Norway with its continental, taiga, tundra and ice cap climates, I have been learning a ton about my new home from you and what makes it what it is!
Thanks! And well done on your move to Norway. I have a lot of interest in that country, and watch many of their movies that showcase their unique geography.
Could you make a video on the predicted Climate Zones 50 years from now? What will the Koppen-Geiger system look like at this time and how will the world need to change as a result of that?
@@Geodiode
Absolutely fabulous. Would you do a video on relationship between ocean currents and climate. Also the effect of microclimate on overall climate of certain regions.
Amazing video!!!! The polar biomes are such a fascinating and beautiful part of the world. As i live in Brisbane Australia, it's a biome that I'm totally unfamiliar with except for my limited travels. I've always been so fascinated by ice, snow and tundra. Its so cool seeing how a difference of just a few degrees can make such a big difference on the scenery and biome that can be found in the region. That really fascinates me so much. I love how you spelled it out with the difference between tundra and ice cap.
As a whole, this series was so interesting! So excited for the next one. Regardless of what it is, I know it'll be a lot of fun. Have an amazing week!
@@Geodiode I'm very curious as to what it might be! Whatever it is, I know it'll be amazing. Hope you have a lovely week. Sending love!
love this series
GREAT WORK! THANKS!
Many thanks to you!
Best video and playlist and also your channel. I came as fast as i can for now. And in the future i am going to travel to the tundra.I not sure what is the next series but great serie!
Amazing video clip as usual! Are you planning to make another new series in your project?
great video!!!
Thanks!
A century later all it will become Taiga . So we need to watch carefully
@@Geodiode yeah lots of popcorn ready mate
I think the high pressure system at the poles will prevent a lot of rain from getting near, creating more of a cold arid climate. But below 80 degrees north/south, where the polar high isn't directly over low pressure systems can go here and bring rain. I think it is possible to have forests well adapted to cold continue to spread into the tundra region as the climate warms, as well as more temperate forests spread up to 60 degrees north too.
I had a dream that in around a century there will be a great darkness brought about by a scientist who has an ambition to end life on Earth. He constructed a quantum-shift bomb and detonated it at Yellowstone Caldera, causing an explosion unlike any the Earth has ever seen. The winter that followed caused glacial expansion, and many of the Earth's biomes, including tundras, were forever changed.
Yes, I'll get off the drugs... one day. 😜
it's very nice to see the amazing earth more exciting land and a very beautiful places
Thanks
Since you asked, extremely interestings videos. My favourites were habitability and Asian monsoon. Videos were answer to many questions, but also raised one question that I had not thought of before, why do grasslands exist instead of forests becoming straight to shrublands.
It was really detailed
Your videos are a huge inspiration for me... Congratulation for this channel, I seriously wish you more and more subscribers. I've been looking forward to make a channel like yours for my country, I hope I can achieve your quality
you have explained everything in detail..I really appreciate your hard work..and the background music is awesome ..love from INDIA .
Loved it! So interesting as always, I just hope this is not done yet, and we get to see more projects!
@@Geodiode im looking forward to it
You should make a video comparing Koppen-Geiger to Trewartha .
Wow 🤯
ALL INSANE :O
Thnk u so much. This series really helped me a lot for my studies . Such a interesting journey Through all of the biomes. Great job 👏 ❤️
You made it to the end! Well almost, there are two more videos after this, and two more to come in the future...!
@@Geodiode yeah waiting
nice
Thanks
Are there climate types over the ocean as well?
I love your videos! Thanks for all the teaching. I am okay with the tundra and the permafrost but for icecap I particularly hate it. And I knew what is the next video (click read more to reveal )
I know geodiode are going to teach what the biomes do with attitude , and tell what is "premontane" ,"montane" ; "subalpine and "alpine" and "alvar" I dont know what are those , but you are great!
Très bien merci d'avoir pensé à écrire en français.
Yeah I probably should've watched these in order. The epilogue was great btw
Thanks, the real, REAL epilogue is coming in the final episode to be released later this month. Don't miss it!
@@Geodiode Oh ok. Good thing I caught up
I had to study about biomes but I didn't like to study them, it was difficult for me to remember, so I was avoiding it but recently i found your videos and it helped me a lottttt to study about biomes. I could complete my lesson successfully. And now I love that topic❤️ Thank you sooo much your videos and explanations helped me a lot🌏💓🙏 love it so much
Wow, that is GREAT to hear... that I was able to turn the subject around for you. My mission is accomplished, to bring an often dry and academic subject to life by SHOWING people what they are and not just writing or talking about them!
@@Geodiode Absolutely 💓🙏 that's true. I understood studying is something more than reading or listening. Thank you so much again💓
I got all my soil #bushcraftSkills & trees ready for my time in the #tundra AGAIN
And now it’s finished
why are there so many lakes in the tundra? for example in northern alaska or russia, they almost look like craters
Can you imagine the life of Inuits (especially before goods were flown in), living in 5 months of darkness, constantly having to hunt for seal to be able to use its oil for heating, if you don't go out in the complete darkness, bore a hole in the ice and bait the seal and hunt it down then your kids will freeze / starve to death. Bruh these people are hardier than any other human.
Absolutely. I gained somewhat of an insight into their life in Dan Simmon's novel "The Terror" (which inspired me to make the video "The Northwest Passage") in my other series. The Inuit played a significant part in that epic, and I mention them there.
Non si capisce niente. Ma molto interessante
So we should be cutting down the imposing trees above the current taiga region in order to prevent runaway warming?!?
One day I will go all the biomes in the world 🌎 🌎🌎🌎🌎❤️

Faltou a tradução para português
I'm working on finding a portuguese speaker to do a spoken language version of my videos. Patience! :)
Wait aren't fungi and algae not plants?
Fungi are in a different life kingdom to plants, while the jury is still out on whether algae are considered to be plants, despite them photosynthesising
Fungi in some ways are closer to animals than they are to plants.
