This harsh landscape is covered in snow almost all through the year. When every other terrain basks in sunlight, the tundra remains a kingdom of ice, and only the hardiest breeds that are adapted to the freezing temperatures can make it their home here. Here and there, there are coniferous forests, and glaciers that loom high above the landscape, and lakes that are frozen over the majority of the time, but there are cracks and holes here and there in the surface so the cats and their prey can drink the icy cold liquid.
