But there's an easier way to remember them

if you just remember what surrounds them.

The Arctic, situated in the Northern hemisphere of our planet,

So, the Arctic has polar bears but no penguins,

and the Antarctic has penguins but no polar bears.

The Arctic region consists of a vast, ice-covered ocean

everywhere you looked, in all directions,

covered by constantly shifting, frozen sea ice.

If you were to fall into the water at the North Pole,

you'd fall into water that's 13,980 feet deep.

Above the water, average winter temperatures

Despite these incredibly harsh conditions,

humans have populated areas in the Arctic

Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice,

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent,

and it contains the geographic South Pole.

It's the fifth largest continent on the planet

Almost 98% of Anarctica is covered by ice

Conditions in Antarctica are some of the most extreme

You might think that it snows all the time at the Poles,

Because it's so harsh and hard to get to,

there are no permanent human residents on Antarctica,

at the research stations scattered across the continent.

Even the most extreme animals fight for survival,

and only cold-adapted organisms survive there,

But why is Antarctica colder than its northern cousin?

is more than three kilometers above sea level,

and temperature decreases with elevation.

That's why mountaintops have snow on them.

is warmer than the frozen ground in the Antarctic,

and that warmth is transferred through the ice pack.

This prevents temperatures in the Arctic regions

typical of the land surface of Antarctica.

Third, the seasons are conspiring against the Antarctic.

when the Earth is the farthest away from the Sun,

it also happens to be winter in the Antarctic,
