The habitat of the Antarctic Fur Seal, (Arctocephalus gazella) is in the general region of the Antarctic.

About 95% breed on the islands of South Georgia (Great Britain) in the Scotia Sea, east of Cape Horn, South America. The other major locations for the seals are on the opposite side of Antarctica, at McQuarrie Island (Australia) SSW of New Zealand, and at Kerguelen Island (France) in the extreme southern Indian ocean. This location gives the seals their other name, Kerguelen Fur Seals.

What is the difference between Arctic and Antarctic?

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.artic is layer of icesand Antarctic is ice on top of land
