The Arctic and the Antarctic are the Earth's Polar regions. The Arctic is a floating ice sheet, Antactica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km. with an Ice Sheet consisting of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice. The polar regions are defined as - The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude.

The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude.

The Antarctic is about 30 degrees colder than the Arctic, because of there being a continent there.
