Surprises of the tundra

The top six things that surprised me about the Arctic tundra (in no particular order):
1. how flat the landscape is
2. the amount of water in the landscape
3. the size and density of the mosquitos
4. the amount of ice on the Hudson Bay
5. bear bars on the windows of the Churchill Northern Studies Center
6. the age(between 100 and 150 years) of the trees that do not look very large
