This region is near the north ans outh poles where it is farthest from the sun. So it doesn't get very much heat. Which would melt the ice and ruin the animal's habitats. So if the sun is too close there would be no more ice and there wouldn't be such thing as a Polar Tundra.
What do you think would happen if the sun did melt everything because it got to close?

Animlas In Biome
There many kinds of animals in the Polar Tundra such as the penguin and the polar bear. There are other kinds of penguins that live in tropical or temperate weather but this is just a regular penguin that lives in the Polar tundra. The polar bears are actually going extinct because of global warming that is melting all the ice and turning it into water and they can't live in just water. They could drown and it reduces the ability to find food. A penguin's role for his species is to be strong, healthy, find food and reproduce as much as possible. The role of a polar bear is just to survive right now, because there is only a couple thousand left in the world. These animals have adapted to survive in the polar tundra by reproducing a lot, hunt food from the water etc.

Do you blame human for the pssible extinction of the polar bears?

Polar Tundra
Our Biome is the polar tundra. It is very unique. It is unique because it is very cold and normally under 10 degrees Celsius. there is also no plants and tree, but there are animals like polar bears and penguins. When the sun is out of it's summer,the temperature barely reaches15 degrees. In Our biome is not very diverse. A lot of animals and plants can't stay alive in these kind of habitats and very low temperatures. Also,an ecosystem is formed by the interaction between living and non-living parts of an environment. Living plants and animal depend on non-living things such as air, water,rocks, soil,energy and nutrients for their survival. In our Biome there is ice every where and ice cold water where penguins, fish, seals, polar bears, etc. go for food.
Imagine living in the Polar Tundra. What would you do?
