What is the difference between the arctics and antarctica?
The Arctic is the area around the North Pole and Antarctica is the continent at the South Pole. The Arctic is not actually land but a combination of ice and water, by contrast, the Antarctic is a continent and landmass covered in ice. The Arctic is in the North and Antarctica is in the South. They are both at the Earth's poles but the Arctic is made up of solely ice and is just a collection of large ice caps. Antarctica is actually a continent with ice and solid land too. The biggest difference is that the Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by continents. Antarctica is a frozen continent surrounded by an ocean.

Why is Antarctica not considered as the ocean?

Why is the climate in the Antarctic is so much colder than in the Arctic?
The continent of Antarctica is in the Antarctic, storing 90% of the earth's store of ice. It is about 30 degrees F colder in Antarctica than in the open water of the Arctic ocean. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean. The Arctic is open water -- the Arctic ocean -- surrounded by land.
How are the Arctic and Antarctica different?
Antarctica means "not the Arctic," and the South Pole is on the Antarctic continent. The Arctic -- the North pole -- is found in frozen ice and sea water. Antarctica is a continent, 98% of which is covered with ice, and the Arctic is an ice-capped sea surrounded by land in the mountainous and the cold state of Alaska, and the countries of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia - Norway, Sweden, and Finland in Europe, and the Russian Federation. Antarctica's climate is harsher than the Arctic's, with temperatures generally about 30 degrees F colder than those in the Arctic.
