Treeless zone with frozen subsoil (6)

I believe the answer is:

tundra

(Other definitions for tundra that I've seen before include "northern waste" , "Northern permafrost region" , "Area of permafrost" , "wasteland" , "Vast Artic region with frozen sub-soil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
