Antarctica means "not the Arctic," and the South Pole is on the Antarctic continent. The Arctic -- the North pole -- is found in frozen ice and sea water.
Antarctica is a continent, 98% of which is covered with ice, and the Arctic is an ice-capped sea surrounded by land in the mountainous and the cold state of Alaska, and the countries of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia - Norway, Sweden, and Finland in Europe, and the Russian Federation.
Antarctica's climate is harsher than the Arctic's, with temperatures generally about 30 degrees F colder than those in the Arctic.
