Alaska is entirely covered by the Taiga, filled with spruces, pine trees, cedars, and hemlocks that cover 10.9 million acres of land. For most of the flora it becomes very difficult to survive the harsh climate of the Taiga, but because the surroundings are filled with lichens and moss, the “needle-leaf” trees rule the area. Even in summer, temperatures could fall to 20 degrees, but nothing can beat -65 degree in winters. Regardless of these extreme conditions, the wildlife in the Taiga is still thriving.
