Both are polar, but Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic. Antarctica is a continent, there are only northern expanses of continents near the Arctic.

There are native and indigenous peoples in the Arctic, and no humans in Antarctica.

Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land and ice south of 60 degrees S. Many governments argue over the use and governance of Arctic waters.
