Wildlife presenter Ferne Corrigan takes a look at the Arctic tundra and how plants, animals and the Sami people have adapted to live in this biome.
This clip from the series Ecosystems and Biomes will be relevant for teaching Geography at KS3 and GCSE. Ferne describes the location of the tundra biomes around the world before describing the climate of the biome. She then explains how the barberry plant has adapted to survive the harsh weather before explaining how the Arctic fox and the Musk ox have adapted to survive in the Tundra ecosystem. Ferne then changes focus to the Sami people of the tundra biome and how they use the changing seasons to survive.
