Jacob Rodriguez-Greenland Tundra name is believed to have come from //tunturia// // witch refers to; treeless plains. The Arctic can only be found in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere of the world. The arctic is extremely cold do to its position in the world. As for Greenland’s tundra it’s not that cold as you may think. The spring has a fairly warm temp but as you continue up Greenland it get’s extremely cold. For spring in Greenland it is fairly warm but in some parts it’s above freezing. In winter it’s a northern light show at Greenland making it a great vacation sight. But the down fall is cold frigid wind going up to 72/mph. so basically Greenland is comfortably warm in the spring and summer and is crazily freezing in the winter but winter has a great deal of northern lights. //
