The Arctic:
- is where you'll find the North pole
- is populated by indigenous peoples, and has been for more than 10,000 years
- is mostly sea ice surrounded by land
The Antarctic:
- is where you'll find the South Pole
- is unpopulated, because it's too cold for anything to live there
- is made up of a landmass that is equal to about 10% of the earth's surface, surrounded by the vast Southern Ocean

Why do hurricanes form in polar regions?
Well, they don't, actually. Hurricanes form in the more tropical regions, never the polar regions. Reason for that is basically there is more moisture in the atmosphere than in the polar regions. For a better explanation, please see the related question below.
