There are no polar bears in Antarctica. It's too cold and there is no food chain there for any animal. Polar bears are indigenous to the Northern Hemisphere. Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere.

Polar bears do not live in the antarctic; they live in the Arctic. As polar bears have never been introduced to the Antarctic, it is unknown if they could potentially live there. The local seals, such as Weddell and leopard, are much larger than the ringed seals eaten by polar bears in the Arctic (in fact many seals are larger than many polar bears), but a population of bears could potentially survive by feeding off of young seals or penguins (which are much larger than Arctic seabirds).
