Description
The Alaskan tundra displays its vibrant colors abundantly in autumn. This image was captured hiking from the highway between Fairbanks and Anchorage.
This is Alaska's arctic tundra. ... The word "tundra" (from the Finnish tunturi: "treeless heights") refers to treeless ecosystems where winters are long and cold, and summers are short and (usually) chilly. Those conditions are found both in the high latitudes (northern and southern), and also atop high mountains.
