'''Distant Tundra''' is an area in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the third area in the game. The overall layout of the level is a flat, snowy environment with small areas containing exposed grass and dirt. The level is divided by a small river that cuts through the middle. The landing site is near the river. There are 16 fruits that can be found here.

The first time the player unlocks the area, The [[Drake]] flies too low to the ground and hits a rock, accidentally ejecting [[Brittany]] into the cave below. In this cave, she discovers the [[Yellow Pikmin]] and their [[Onion]]. Upon using the new Yellow Pikmin to open an entry to the outside, she discovers that she and [[Alph]] are separated by a river, which must be overcome by two bridges, which each captain must help each other build. Until the player reunites the two captains, Brittany will not be able to return to Drake at the end of the day and will go unfed until reunited.

Eventually, the 2 explorers make it to the area in which Charlie had crash landed. Any obstacles that Charlie destroyed on the first day will not reappear. They make it into the cave in which he was captured, where they light up the cave, and the Vehemoth Phosbat retreats. They begin to fight the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]], the game's second boss, and upon defeating,unlocks [[Charlie]] as a playable character.

==Environment==

[[File:Are1.jpg|thumb|250px|An overview of some of the area.]]

The Distant Tundra is a large snowy area. The entire area is split in half by a large river which runs through the middle. This river is the main obstacle the first time the player visits the tundra, because the river is blocking the path to the other side, where Brittany is located. Because of the cold climate, many enemies that cannot be found in other areas are found here, such as the Bearded Amprat or the Arctic Cannon Larva. This area is also home to many caves. The northern-most cave is home to the Yellow Pikmin and their onion. In a cave to the southeast is where the Vehemoth Phosbat and it's kind reside. To the northeast lies a small pond, home to the Arctic Shaggy Long Legs. To the northwest lies a cave that is home to the Spotty Bulbear, it's only location in story mode. All in all, this area is much different from the other areas.

*This location's continental shape is based on a more elevated Indonesia mixed with Asia.

*This is the only area in ''Pikmin 3 ''where rain never falls. However, it sometimes snows in this area, also making it the only area where snow can fall.
