<P> On Earth , the only continent where the ice cap polar climate is predominant is Antarctica . All but a few isolated coastal areas on the island of Greenland also have the ice cap climate . Coastal regions of Greenland that do not have permanent ice sheets have the less extreme tundra climates . The northernmost part of the Eurasian land mass , from the extreme northeastern coast of Scandinavia and eastwards to the Bering Strait , large areas of northern Siberia and northern Iceland have tundra climate as well . Large areas in northern Canada and northern Alaska have tundra climate , changing to ice cap climate in the most northern parts of Canada . Southernmost South America ( Tierra del Fuego where it abuts the Drake Passage ) and such subantarctic islands such as the South Shetland Islands and the Falkland Islands have tundra climates of slight thermal range in which no month is as warm as 10 ° C ( 50 ° F ) . These subantarctic lowlands are found closer to the equator than the coastal tundras of the Arctic basin . </P>
