No way are they similar, apart from ice and cold, They are two completely different regions of the Earth. That would like saying a rainforest and a desert are similar.
The Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by land. While Antarctica is a continent with mountain ranges and lakes surrounded by an ocean.
The southernmost continent has roughly 90 percent of the world's ice, which amounts to nearly three quarters of the Earth's fresh water being locked away there. While the Arctic is frozen seawater.
The Antarctic is so cold that the snow never melts in many areas of the continent. The region's average temperature is about -56 degrees Fahrenheit (-49 degrees Celsius), making it the coldest climate on earth. In contrast, the Arctic's average winter temperature is -29 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius), but it gets warmer in the summer. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -128 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.6 degrees Celsius), recorded July 21, 1983, at the Vostok Station located near the South Geomagnetic Pole.
