The tundra landscape consists of permafrost littered with small lakes called thermokarsts near the Arctic circle, Yukon. Also, this photo demonstrates that above the tree line the landscape is barren of trees.

wow I think this is a really great picture and I learned something also from your description. Have you looked at the picture after removing the growth from the bottom right corner for some unknown reason my damn eyes just keep wondering from the beauty of the whole scene and beautiful mountains.. you have a winner here
