Actually no, there aren't, that's a myth. What your thinking of is The Arctic Wolf. The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also called Snow Wolf or White Wolf, is a subspecies of the gray wolf, a mammal of the family Canidae. Arctic wolves inhabit the Canadian Arctic, Alaska and the northern parts of Greenland.

Antarctica is just above the south pole at the opposite end of the planet from the Arctic wolf. Anarctica is home to Weddell Seals, Orcas, Rockhopper Penguins, Black-browed Albatross, Leopard Seal, Blue Whale, Adelie Penguin, Antarctic Shag, Crabeater Seal, Wandering Albatross, Antarctic Fur Seal, Emperor Penguin, Southern Elephant Seal, Chinstrap Penguin, and the Ross Seal. Because Antarctica is so cold, all of these animals live in or near the water and depend on it for food. They are all protected by thick layers of fat called blubber.

Polar Bears are also often thought to live in Antarctica, but this is also a myth. Polar bears are found at the northern end of the planet in what is known as the Arctic region. There are 19 different populations of polar bears, and all live in the Arctic region. This is the area that is north of the Arctic Circle, which lies at 66 degrees, 32 minutes North latitude. If you're hoping to see a polar bear in the wild, you'd need to go to one of the following countries:

  • United States (Alaska)
  • Canada, including the provinces and territories of Manitoba, Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and Yukon Territory)
  • Greenland/Denmark
  • Norway
  • Russian Federation

Polar bears are native to the countries above, and occasionally are found in Iceland.
