means A vast, treeless plain found in arctic and alpine regions, where the subsoil stays permanently frozen and only low-growing plants survive.
from From Russian тундра (tundra), which the Russians borrowed from the Sami languages of the far north — possibly Kildin Sami 'tūndâr,' meaning an uplands or treeless mountain tract.
