Plains of the arctic regions (6)

I believe the answer is:

tundra

(Other definitions for tundra that I've seen before include "Vast area" , "Sub-polar treeless zone" , "Vast level Arctic regions with frozen subsoil" , "Area of permafrost" , "wasteland" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
