While arctic may be utilized as an adjective, its usage as a noun specifically designates or denotes the regions that are north of the Arctic Circle, or the polar area north of the timber line.
Antarctic may also be utilized as an adjective; but as a noun, it specifically designates or denotes the region around the South Pole, Antarctica, and the surrounding ocean.
The word "Arctic" comes from the Greek arktos, meaning "bear, Ursa Major, North Star." Antarctic just means "opposite the Arctic."
The name "Antarctic Peninsula" derives from its location within the Antarctic region, which is characterized by its extreme cold and ice. The term "Antarctic" comes from the Greek word "antarktikos," meaning "opposite to the Arctic." The peninsula itself is a prominent landmass that extends toward South America, and its naming reflects its geographical significance as part of the larger Antarctic continent. Explorers and cartographers in the 19th century solidified the name as they mapped the region.
