Is Boston close the the Antarctic Circle?
No. Boston, Mass in the USA is closer to the Arctic Circle than to the Antarctic Circle. Boston and the Arctic are both in the Northern Hemisphere: Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere.

Which continent has more land the Arctic or Antarctica?
Antarctica has more land than the Arctic. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic is a region surrounded by the Arctic Circle and consists of mainly ice-covered ocean with some landmasses.
Which is closer to New Zealand the Antarctic or the Arctic 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.
Is it colder at the Arctic Circle than the Antarctic Circle?
Both are theoretically the same. It depends on the accuracy of your measurements and the method of measurement. Are you measuring at exactly theoretical sea level or up and down mountains and valleys (along the sea floor?) etc. I do believer that the Earth is slightly larger south of the equator and so the Antarctic circle could be larger.
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
Is it colder at the antarctic than the arctic?
The antarctic is colder than the arctic because of Antarctica, the continent, on which is stored 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
What is the Arctic and Antarctica?
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.
Is the arctic colder than the antarctic?
No, it's not.
