Winter Taiga, Manitoba

Winter Taiga, Manitoba
Harsh winters in Manitoba can bring temperatures as low as -53° C (-63° F) in the taiga, a region of subarctic coniferous forest that grows south of the tundra. Although such low temperatures are generally confined to the extreme north, the average January temperature in the south is just -19° C (-2° F).
