Arctic
While the "Arctic" is defined in different ways, it is generally referred to as the region above the geographical Arctic circle. In addition to geography, the Arctic can also be defined by tree line and temperature. It is an austere and extreme region where temperatures and daylight fluctuate drastically in accord with the season.
