Scientists estimate that 90 billion barrels of oil exists in the Arctic.
In March 2010, the total Arctic sea ice volume was 20,300 km3 - the lowest March value for total sea ice volume over the 1979-2009 period.
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean. SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
In the Antarctica and Arctic regions, the freshwater is stored as ice.
There were three main ice sheets in Canada, the Laurentide and the much smaller Cordilleran in the west and Innuitian in the Arctic
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.
There is much more ice covering Antarctica -- about 90% of the earth's store of ice -- than in the Arctic.
Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.3 percentper decade.
It is an ice cap (ice berg) found in the arctic.

Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
Nothing at all.
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
Yes, the Antarctic Desert is a true ice (or polar) desert. Those parts of the Arctic that occur on land are better described as tundra. Much of the Arctic is either open sea or frozen sea ice.
NOTHING is mined in the arctic. The arctic is only ice.
Most of earth's ice is piled up on Antarctica (the south pole). To a much lesser extent there is ice over the arctic and Greenland.
YES the Arctic has seen ice loss.
The arctic is is mostly ice. Antarctica is a continent that is included in the antarctic region.
