<P> Arctic tundra occurs in the far Northern Hemisphere , north of the taiga belt . The word `` tundra '' usually refers only to the areas where the subsoil is permafrost , or permanently frozen soil . ( It may also refer to the treeless plain in general , so that northern Sápmi would be included . ) Permafrost tundra includes vast areas of northern Russia and Canada . The polar tundra is home to several peoples who are mostly nomadic reindeer herders , such as the Nganasan and Nenets in the permafrost area ( and the Sami in Sápmi ) . </P>
