21 тундра
tundraIn the Old World the word generally used is tundra, a term originating from the Finnish word tunturi meaning a treeless plain. The tundra everywhere is dotted with lakes, transected by small streams and covered with low heath, although in more sheltered places and along river courses and lake shores there are rather high shrub. Where the ground is moist extensive bogs exist, while in the driest parts and in places that are particularly exposed to the wind or where soil is very poor and scanty,the vegetation does not form a continuous cover and the plants are scattered, so that the bare underground is the dominant feature of the landscape. .Русско-английский словарь по этологии (поведению животных) > тундра

24 хоть в гроб ложись
разг.one might as well be in one's grave; cf. it is enough to make you cryАлександр привязался к труду, как привязываются к последней надежде. "За этим, - говорил он тётке, - ведь уж нет ничего: там голая степь, без воды, без зелени, мрак, пустыня; - что тогда будет жизнь? хоть в гроб ложись!" (И. Гончаров, Обыкновенная история) — Alexander clung to his work as a man clings to his last hope. Beyond that, he said to his aunt, 'There is nothing left for me any more. Nothing but the bare steppe, waterless, treeless, nothing but gloom and desert lands. What would life be then? I might as well be in my grave.'
