The Antarctic is a region that contains the continent Antarctica, surrounding the South Pole and surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
The difference is that in the arctic there are Polar bears and in the antarctic there are penguins. You will never find a polar bear in the antarctic and you will never find a penguin in the arctic.
Antarctic is the southernmost continent on Earth and experiences extremely cold temperatures.
The bedrock that underlies the Antarctic continent was formed about 540 million years ago during the formation of the supercontinent Gondwana.
The coldest oceans, on average, are the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean, followed by the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. The warmest oceans are typically the Indian Ocean and parts of the Western Pacific Ocean near the equator.
Both are polar, but Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic. Antarctica is a continent, there are only northern expanses of continents near the Arctic. There are native and indigenous peoples in the Arctic, and no humans in Antarctica. Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, which governs all land and ice south of 60 degrees S. Many governments argue over the use and governance of Arctic waters.
Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. There is no 'Antarctic Ocean'.
The Antarctic, or the continent of Antarctica, is located in the Southern Ocean.
The Southern Ocean is the current name for the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans that surround the Antarctic continent.
Arctic Ocean
The Southern Ocean surrounds the Antarctic continent.
There is no ocean called the Antarctic Ocean. The waters surrounding the Antarctic Continent are considered parts of the South Pacific, South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, or are called the Southern Ocean.
The Southern Ocean surrounds the Antarctic continent.
The Antarctic Ocean does not touch the continent of North America. North America is entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. The Antarctic Ocean is the ocean that surrounds the South Pole, and does not reach even to the southern temperate zones, let alone to the Equator.
The continent of Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
The antarctic ocean encircles the continent of Antarctica which contains the south pole. So technically the south pole isn't in the antarctic ocean.
The Southern Ocean is the current name for the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans that surround the Antarctic continent.
The most southern continent, surrounding the South Pole of the earth is Antarctica. You can find the Antarctic south of 60 degrees S. The Antarctic includes the continent of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
