The taiga and tundra of this region teem with birds and animals, and bloom with wildflowers in early summer. |
The northern coniferous forest, or taiga, is filled with evergreens such as pine, fir, and spruce. |
For centuries the nomadic Tsaatan people have roamed the taiga of northern Mongolia, raising the reindeer that provide their livelihood. |
Chukchi men drive their reindeer in search of vegetation and travel to the edge of the taiga to gather firewood, fish, and hunt sea mammals. |
The boom and bust cycle of the populations of small mammals is a phenomenon of the taiga and tundra regions of the north. |
A spectacled warbler from southern Europe was seen at Filey and a taiga flycatcher from Siberia was spotted at Flamborough Head. |
