5-590: This mountain chain was named after Ivar Haug , who compiled the first Gazetteer of Greenland. The area of the range is characterized by Tundra climate . The Haug Range is an up to almost 1,100 m high little glaciated mountain range in Hall Land.

10-502: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Tundra climate The tundra climate is a polar climate sub-type located in high latitudes and high mountains. It is classified as ET according to the Köppen climate classification . It is a climate which at least one month has an average temperature high enough to melt snow (0 °C [32 °F]), but no month with an average temperature in excess of 10 °C (50 °F). If
15-463: Is extremely low, allowing soggy terrain of swamps and bogs even in places that get precipitation typical of deserts of lower and middle latitudes. The amount of native tundra biomass depends more on the local temperature than the amount of precipitation. Tundra climates are the third coldest Köppen climate type on Earth, though extreme subarctic climates (Dfd/Dwd/Dsd) can experience significantly colder winters. There also exists an oceanic variety of
20-454: The climate occurs at high elevations, it is known as alpine climate . Despite the potential diversity of climates in the ET category involving precipitation, extreme temperatures, and relative wet and dry seasons, this category is rarely subdivided. Rainfall and snowfall are generally slight due to the low vapor pressure of water in the chilly atmosphere, but as a rule potential evapotranspiration
25-574: The north from the southern part of Hall Land. 1,094 metres (3,589 ft) high Kayser Mountain , the highest elevation of the range, is located at its northeastern end.
