Assignment Help:

As you travel south from the tundra you will enter the circumpolar belt of coniferous forests which stretches across North America to Eurasia, this region is called taiga, a world derived from Russian word meaning ‘primeval forest'. The taiga is a land of lakes, bogs and marshes. The climate is cold with long winters and short summers.
