What is the elevation of the polar region?

The elevation of the polar regions varies significantly, but they are generally characterized by low-lying areas. In Antarctica, the average elevation is about 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) due to the thick ice sheets, while Greenland's average elevation is around 1,500 meters (4,900 feet). In contrast, the Arctic region, which includes parts of Alaska, Canada, and Russia, consists mainly of sea ice and low-lying land, with elevations typically ranging from sea level to a few hundred meters. Overall, polar regions are primarily dominated by ice and tundra, resulting in diverse elevation profiles.
