Mention five points about the summer in Tundra.

1. The sun begins to shine in the Tundra around February-March. In the beginning, it shines for a maximum of an hour and a half and then set. It gradually lengthens to 2 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours and finally 24 hours.

2. Subsequently, the sun shines for almost three months from May to July for 24 hours i.e. all day long.

3. The sun, however, does not rise overhead and since it does rise high up in the sky, it is never very warm i.e. it is comparatively less cold than the winter months.

4. The warm weather allows the ice and frozen rivers to melt. The lakes fill up and huge chunks of ice break off and float into the ocean as icebergs.

5. The land (which was frozen during the winters) comes alive during summer. Many multicoloured plants, lichens, grass, shrubs and berries sprout all around the region. Also, many birds and animals come to feed on them.
