Arctic-alpine Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Tromsø, Norway.
The Arctic-alpine Botanic Garden displays plants from cold regions across all continents, arranged among natural rock formations and birch trees at latitude 69 degrees north.
The garden, established in 1994, represents a milestone in botanical research as the northernmost botanical garden on Earth, dedicated to studying arctic plant species.
The garden functions as an educational center where visitors learn about plant adaptations to extreme climates through detailed exhibits and scientific collections.
