Arctic

The Arctic refers to the polar region located at the northernmost part of Earth, surrounding the Arctic Ocean and encompassing parts of countries like Canada, Russia, Greenland, Norway, and the U.S. (Alaska). It is characterized by cold temperatures, ice-covered landscapes, and unique wildlife, including polar bears, seals, and migratory birds. The region experiences extreme daylight variations, with continuous daylight in summer and prolonged darkness in winter. Climate change significantly impacts the Arctic, leading to melting ice and altering habitats, which has global implications for weather patterns and sea levels.
