This extreme climate produces the type of scenery known as the Tundra（苔原）. The winters in the Tundra as well as being very cold are also very dark. In north of the Arctic circle there are days when the sun does not shine. Precipitation is very low in this season as the cold temperatures reduce evaporation（蒸发） and the air only holds very low amounts of water vapour. Tundra Regions with an arctic climate: northern Alaska, northern Canada, coastal areas of Greenland, northern Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Finland) and Siberia in northern Russia. northern Alaska northern Scandinavia Temperate Climate 温带气候　　Temperate climates are those without extremes of temperature and precipitation. There are two types of temperate climate: maritime and continental. Maritime climates experience generally cool summers and mild winters, with a much smaller annual temperature range. This is because water has a much higher heat capacity than soil and rock. Seawater takes a long time to warm up in summer, but once heated it retains its energy long after the surrounding land has cooled down, helping to moderate（缓解） the climate. Regions with a maritime climate: Western Europe, in particular the UK, and western North America at latitudes between 40 °and 60°north. One beach of the UK Continentality is such regions that usually experience hot summers and cold winters, since they are
