Arctic regions with permafrost (6)

I believe the answer is:

tundra

(Other definitions for tundra that I've seen before include "Sub-polar treeless zone" , "Vast level Arctic region with frozen subsoil" , "wasteland" , "Treeless frozen Arctic plain" , "Vast Artic region with frozen sub-soil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
