Arctic and Antarctic regions

The Arctic region is located at the northernmost part of the Earth, primarily consisting of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding land, including parts of Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia. It is characterized by sea ice and a cold climate. The Antarctic region, found at the southernmost tip, is a continent covered by ice, surrounded by the Southern Ocean. It contains the largest ice sheet in the world. Both regions are crucial for global climate regulation, biodiversity, and unique ecosystems, but they face significant threats from climate change and environmental degradation.
