=== Mountains === Summits of most mountains also have polar climates, despite being in lower latitudes, due to their high elevations. The highest mountains of the [[Rocky Mountains]], [[Alps]], and the [[Caucasus]] have tundra climate. Some mountains of the [[Andes]], the [[Saint Elias Mountains]], and most mountains of the [[Himalayas]], the [[Karakoram]], the [[Hindu Kush Range]], [[Pamir Mountains]], the [[Tian Shan Mountains]], and the [[Alaska Range]] also have ice cap climates at extremely high elevations, in addition to tundra climates at relatively lower elevations. Only the summit of [[Mount Rainier]] has an ice cap climate in the [[Cascade Range]].{{cn|date=May 2025}}
