What ocean surrounds north pole?
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean. SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
Why is the arctic ice cap not considered a glacier?
The Arctic ice cap is a large mass of ice floating on the Arctic Ocean, whereas a glacier is a slow-moving mass of ice on land. Glaciers form from compacted snow over time, while the ice cap in the Arctic fluctuates with the seasons. Additionally, glaciers can carve out valleys and shape landscapes, which the Arctic ice cap does not do.
Which holds more ice the North pole or the South Pole?
The South Pole, Antarctica, holds far more ice than the Arctic. Arctic ice floats on the ocean and is no more than one metre thick. Antarctic ice is a maximum of 4.7 kilometres deep at Terre Adélie.
Where is the majority of the earths freshwater found?
In the Antarctica and Arctic regions, the freshwater is stored as ice.
How much more ice has the arctic over Antarctica?
There is much more ice covering Antarctica -- about 90% of the earth's store of ice -- than in the Arctic.
How much on average do minimum arctic ice levels decrease every decade?
Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.3 percentper decade.
What is an arctic ice caps?
It is an ice cap (ice berg) found in the arctic.
How much food is left for the Arctic Hare?

What ocean surrounds north pole?
No ocean covers the North Pole. The North Pole is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice cap that covers the Arctic Ocean. SHORT ANSWER- Arctic Ocean
When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
How much has the arctic ice increased since 2012?
According to scientific data, the Arctic ice has not increased since 2012. In fact, it has continued to decrease over the years due to climate change.
How much has the arctic ice pack lost due to global warming?
Nothing at all.
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
Are diamonds mined in the arctic?
NOTHING is mined in the arctic. The arctic is only ice.
Is Antarctica the only ice desert?
Yes, the Antarctic Desert is a true ice (or polar) desert. Those parts of the Arctic that occur on land are better described as tundra. Much of the Arctic is either open sea or frozen sea ice.
Where is most of earth's ice is found?
Most of earth's ice is piled up on Antarctica (the south pole). To a much lesser extent there is ice over the arctic and Greenland.
