Le climat polaire s'observe dans les régions de latitude supérieure à 60/70°. Il est marqué par des hivers glacials et des étés froids (température moyenne de cette saison inférieure à 10 °C). Les précipitations, faibles en moyenne, tombent principalement sous forme de neige. Le blizzard qui y règne fréquemment est dû à un vent violent qui soulève et entraîne la neige poudreuse. Le lichen est la principale végétation spontanée que l'on y rencontre. 3, record 1, French, - climat%20polaire
