Scientists estimate that 90 billion barrels of oil exists in the Arctic.
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
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.
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.
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.
In the Antarctica and Arctic regions, the freshwater is stored as ice.
There is much more ice covering Antarctica -- about 90% of the earth's store of ice -- than in the Arctic.
Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum each September. September Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.3 percentper decade.
It is an ice cap (ice berg) found in the arctic.

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.
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.
Nothing at all.

NOTHING is mined in the arctic. The arctic is only ice.
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.
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.
