Tundra and ice-cap climates both belong to which major Köppen group?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Group E, polar
Tundra is coded ET and ice-cap climate is coded EF in Köppen’s system. Both symbols begin with E, which is the major polar climate group. ET allows the warmest month to reach at least 0°C but remain below 10°C, whereas EF keeps even the warmest month below 0°C. Group D is continental, not polar, so it is incorrect.
