Apparently there are a fair number of places which have polar climates (Koppen EF/ET) and yet still have a decent amount of vegetation.
Of course, I don't mean that they necessarily have abundunt vegetation so much so that it's a very conspicuous feature of the climate, but maybe some prevalent mosses, lichens, and hardy grasses.
I thought that we could keep a list of some high-latitude places which have a decent amount of such vegetation.
Most areas in Scandinavia and Finland within the Arctic Circle have significant vegetation, and are typically Dfc - climated with forest growth. Some smaller areas at the coast with cfc-climate. Just search images from Narvik, Bodø, Fauske, Harstad, Tromsø, Bardufoss etc.
Also in western Russia a lot of forest at that latitude, and even in areas in Siberia.
