[OFFICIAL] Weekly Dev Update Screenshot Challenge: Ecosystems: Arctic Tundra

Hi everyone,

It’s time for another screenshot challenge! The idea is to collectively explore different parts of the world together - areas that may be very familiar to you or perhaps a new place you have never flown before. Feel free to find others to fly with to capture the challenge, or go solo!

Last week’s winner from Color Series - Red: @Wisse06

This Week’s Challenge

Your second ecosystem screenshot challenge - Arctic Tundra. Take a screenshot flying around in this type of environment in the sim!

Quote from https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/:

  • Arctic Tundra: Mostly found in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, it is located between the taiga biome and ice caps. In the two seasons, summer and winter, temperatures never get hotter than 50 degrees F in summer, but might get as low as -150 in winter. Due to low rainfall and extreme weather, the most common plant life are mosses and lichen, but all plant life is dependent on normal ice cap run-off. This area, found in Alaska, northern Canada and northern Russia, also houses caribou, wolves, foxes, and polar bears.

If you have screenshot challenge ideas for the future, please DM me!

Rules

  1. Any time of day
  2. Any type of weather
  3. Code of Conduct appropriate liveries
  4. Default aircraft or aircraft from the MSFS Marketplace

Asia-Europe traffic over Siberian Tundra
The number of people living in the vast area shown on this image is a bit more than than double as large as the number of passengers in the 748. There is exactly one human settlement with roughly 1200 inhabitants ( Yuryung-Khaya).
