The description matches that of the alpine biome, which is found at high elevations on mountains and is characterized by low-growing plants and lack of permanent ice layer, but still has harsh environmental conditions such as exposure to UV radiation. The taiga, deciduous forest, and rainforest are not similar in these characteristics, while the chaparral is characterized by shrubbery rather than low-growing plants.
