​Arctic Tundra

The arctic tundra circles the North Pole and is a place of extremely cold temperatures, little rainfall and no trees. Most of the species exhibited are current residents or once lived in Wisconsin during the last Ice age and are adapted for surviving harsh, freezing conditions. The bird species shown here are migrants that are flying south before the arrival of the long, arctic winter.
