Polar exploration refers to the scientific and adventurous journeys undertaken to study the Arctic and Antarctic regions. These expeditions aim to understand the unique ecosystems, climate, and geography of these extreme environments. Notable explorers, such as Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott, have contributed significantly to our knowledge of these areas. The challenges of polar exploration include harsh weather conditions, ice-covered landscapes, and limited daylight. Modern technology, such as icebreakers and satellite imagery, has improved access and research capabilities. Today, scientists continue to explore these regions to monitor climate change and its global impacts.
