subarctic

/sʌbˈɑːktɪk/ name

The region immediately outside of the Arctic Circle or regions similar to these in climate or conditions of life.

Word Origin From Latin sub 'under' and Greek arktikos 'northern, of the Bear (constellation).' The Arctic is named for the Great Bear constellation, so subarctic is literally 'under the bear,' the region just below the Arctic Circle. The same root gives us Antarctic (opposite the bear) and arctophile (bear-lover). So subarctic is a geographical term rooted in celestial bears.

name The region immediately outside of the Arctic Circle or regions similar to these in climate or conditions of life.

The subarctic is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers, supporting unique ecosystems.
