The Northern Waste
The ice fields of the north tundra are covered on the top by lichens, mosses, grasses and flowers, which for nine months are buried under snow. There are only a few trees and bushes here which are in a twisted dwarfed condition as their roots can not penetrate the permafrost.
The forests are densely populated with spruces, firs, pines and larch. On the forest floors grass, moss, lichen, berries and mushrooms. The steppe consists of croplands, grass lands, and low lying scrub bushes.
In the Inaro river delta, lotus flowers in pink and white spread across the water during the summer. The North Brilend region has lots of plant species of various types including wild flowers.
Reindeer, which can endure temperatures down to −50 °C (−58 °F), thrive here in great numbers; their count is said to be in the millions. Lemmings are among the rodents present. Arctic foxes, seals, walruses, polar bears and whales can be found in Mod Bay and in the mouth of the Kehah Ria.
