Arctic refers to the region close to the North Pole, while antarctic (anti-arctic) refers to the one close to South Pole. The Antarctic has a land mass underneath the ice, and the Arctic is ice with no land.
Perhaps the most common misconception about the Arctic and Antarctic is that they are very similar. Nothing is farther from the truth.
The polar regions are a study in contrasts. The Arctic is an ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by an ocean. Each region has unique wildlife that cannot be found in the other. Polar bears and walrus inhabit the North. Penguins inhabit the south. The Arctic has been continually inhabited for thousands of years. The Antarctic has never been inhabited.

What are the three main climatic regions of the world and where do they occur?
The three major climate zones of the world are Polar, Temperate, and Tropical Zones.Polar is surrounding the North and South geographical regions, from the North Pole to the Arctic Circle, and the South Pole to the Antarctic Circle.The North Temperate Zone, lies between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer, while the South Temperate Zone, lies between the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn.The Tropical Zone is from the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, to the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere, with the Equator in the middle.
Is there a polar region starting with ice?
The Arctic and antarctic are the two polar ice regions. Iceland does exist, but is not considered to be a polar region.
When do icebergs form?
Any of the northernmost or southernmost oceans and seas. How far north or south will depend on the time of year. Icebergs are found in very cold Arctic and Antarctic regions, into which the icebergs drift when they detach from an ice pack, ice shelf, or glacier.
What are four different types of weathering that can happen without water?
The Pacific ocean extends from the arctic to the southern ocean (almost Antarctic) so the climate is everything from arctic to tropical. The only thing it isn't is desert but even that is not quite true. There are places in the Pacific where is rarely rains and islands in those areas are quite barren.

What is the difference between the Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle?
Opposite hemispheres.
What was the major difference about the arctic and the antarctic?
The Antarctic is a landmass: the Arctic is sea ice.
What are the differences between the Arctic and the Antarctic Circles?
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator: the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
What is the difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle marks an area north of the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle marks an area south of the Equator, where there is at least one 24-hour period annually of no sunrise or sunset.
What is the similarities between arctic and antarctic?
the arctic is in the north pole and antarctica is in the south.
What are the Difference between Arctic and Antarctic regions?
The Arctic region is located around the North Pole and is an ocean covered by sea ice surrounded by land masses, while the Antarctic region is located around the South Pole and is a continent covered by ice. The Arctic has a polar ice cap that floats on the Arctic Ocean, whereas the Antarctic has a high plateau of ice and snow that covers the continent. Additionally, the Arctic is inhabited by polar bears, while the Antarctic is home to penguins.
What is the latitude between in frigid zone?
it is between the arctic circle and antarctic circle.
