Antarctica is a polar climate, and is not warm, nor is the Arctic climate warm: it is also polar.
Antarctica is about 30 degrees colder than the Arctic, because it is a continent and the Arctic polar climate is dominated by frozen sea ice. Antarctica is sometimes called earth's 'heat sink'.
Antarctica covers about 10% of the earth's surface and 98% of it is covered with an ice sheet. The ice sheet contains about 90% of all the ice on earth and about 70% of the earth's fresh water.
