Polar Region
The Polar Region consists of two main areas: the Arctic and the Antarctic. The Arctic is located around the North Pole and includes parts of countries like Canada, Russia, and Greenland. The Antarctic surrounds the South Pole and is primarily covered by the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Both regions are characterized by extreme cold, ice, and unique ecosystems.
These areas experience long periods of daylight in summer and darkness in winter. The Polar Region is home to various wildlife, including polar bears in the Arctic and penguins in the Antarctic. Climate change is significantly impacting these regions, leading to melting ice and changing habitats.
