Because the earth's axis is very roughly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the sun's rays fall on the polar region at a much shallower angle than they do on parts of the planet that are closer to the Equator. As a result the rays' energy is spread over a much broader area so the amount received by any fixed amount of the surface is proportionally less.

You will find a host of micro-organism's and bacterial life & microbes, insecticidal life forms, and even larger life forms that exist in the polar regions. All based upon the stability of and ability of the "polar ice" to support life. So the answer is YES.

∙ 9y agoPolar bears are not TECHNICALLY marine mammals, but there has been some debate as to whether or not they should be classified in the category or not. Some count them as marine mammals due to their excellent swimming abilities (they can swim for miles without resting), ability to hold their breath for long intervals, and the fact that they prey upon mostly other marine mammals, namely seals.

What is the largest antarctic marine mammal?
I think its the Polar bear. It is the largest land animal and carnivore but sometimes we regard it is a marine mammal because it spends many months of the year at sea. The Polar bear is an arctic mammal, not antarctic, they do not live in antarctica. The biggest antarctic marine mammal that i can think of is the Elephant seal.
