What does TUNDRA mean in Scrabble?
noun

The word came into English from Russian, borrowed originally from a northern language describing the treeless Arctic landscape. Tundra stretches across northern Russia, Canada, Alaska and Scandinavia and supports animals such as caribou and Arctic foxes adapted to the cold and short growing season.
