    Geographically and at latitude, the South Pole is at the southernmost point of the Earth, within the Antarctic Circle, and the North Pole is at the northernmost point of the Earth, within the Arctic Circle.

    The Antarctic range belongs to Antarctica, one of the seven continents, and it is surrounded by oceans. The Arctic is largely the Arctic Ocean, one of the four oceans, and it is surrounded by land.

    Antarctica has a large land area, so the temperature is low, basically 80 60, and although the North Pole is located in the Arctic Circle, the temperature is also very low, but because of the large range of the ocean, the heat storage of seawater is better than that of land, so the temperature is also higher than that of Antarctica, and the minimum temperature is generally about 65.

    Composition of Antarctica.

    Antarctica is divided into two parts: East Antarctica and West Antarctica. East Antarctica extends from 30°W to 170°E and includes Coates Land, Queen Maude Land, Enderby Land, Wilkes Land, George V Coast, Victoria Land, the Antarctic Plateau, and the Pole. It covers an area of 10.18 million square kilometers.

    West Antarctica is located between 50°W and 160°W, including the Antarctic Peninsula, Alexandria Island, Ellsworth Land, and Bird Land, covering an area of 2.29 million square kilometers. Antarctica has only a few scientific expeditions and whaling teams from other continents.

    1.There are penguins in Antarctica! There are polar bears in the Arctic.

    2.The Arctic is made up of the Arctic Ocean and the surrounding continents and islands, and the indigenous people here are the Inuit! The Antarctic region is mainly Antarctica, 98 percent of the Antarctic continent is covered by snow and ice, and only 2 percent is an oasis in Antarctica, which is the habitat of animals.

    Antarctica is the coldest land in the world, and the cold pole is the cold pole.

    The difference between the Antarctic and the Arctic is that the Antarctic is a vast continent with many observatories from all over the world; The Arctic has no continents, only huge icebergs, which are actually oceans.

    The temperatures in the North and South Poles are:

    Arctic: Winter in the Arctic Ocean lasts for six months from November to April. 5 June and 9 October belong to spring and autumn respectively. And the summer is only two months. The average temperature in January ranges from -20 -40.

    The average temperature in August, the warmest month, is only around -3. The lowest temperature recorded at a drifting station near the pole of the Arctic Ocean was -59. Due to the influence of ocean currents and Arctic anticyclones, as well as the distribution of land and sea, the coldest places in the Arctic are not in the Arctic Ocean.

    Antarctica: The average temperature in the Antarctic is 20 times cooler than in the North Pole. The average annual temperature in the Antarctic continent is -25.

    The average annual temperature in the coastal areas of Antarctica is around -17 to -20; In the inland areas, the average annual temperature is minus 40 to -50. The East Antarctic Plateau is the coldest, with an average annual temperature as low as -53.

    The difference between the North and South Poles

    1. The difference in environment: near the North Pole is the ocean, and there are some lands on the edge, such as Russia, Canada, Northern Europe, and Greenland, so the Arctic is the land surrounding the ocean, and the South Pole is near the continent, and the edge is the ocean, which we call the Southern Ocean, so the Antarctic is the ocean surrounding the land.

    Because Antarctica has land, the snow that falls does not melt all year round, forming the world's largest Antarctic ice sheet, with the thickest ice approaching 5,000 meters. Thus, 90% of the Earth's ice is in Antarctica. The high altitude of Antarctica, the Antarctic Ocean Current, and the polar vortex create an extremely cold climate, with an average annual temperature more than 20 degrees lower than that of the North Pole.

    2. Political differences: Most of the land in the Arctic has permanent inhabitants and most of them are sovereign (except for Svalbard), while Antarctica has no permanent inhabitants and no sovereignty.

    3. The difference between large animals: there are fierce polar bears in the Arctic, and there are no fierce animals on the Antarctic land, and the representative animals are penguins.

The average annual temperature in the Antarctic continent is minus 25 degrees. The average annual temperature in the coastal areas of Antarctica is around minus 17 20 degrees; In the inland areas, the average annual temperature is minus 40 to 50 degrees; The East Antarctic Plateau is the coldest, with an average annual temperature as low as minus 57 degrees. The lowest temperature ever observed on Earth was minus degrees Celsius in July 1983 at the Antarctic Observatory in New Zealand.

Polar bears probably survive in Antarctica, which is surrounded by the vast Southern Ocean, although they have the potential to destroy native wildlife. Polar bears living in the Arctic feed primarily on seals, especially newborn pups on ice floes or on beaches. There are considerable differences in feeding habits between Arctic seals and Antarctic seals, and a large part of this can be explained by the adaptation of Arctic seals to polar bear hunting. >>>More

Killer whales are about 10 meters long, about 4 tons, and live in groups, great white sharks are about 6 meters, 2 tons, and generally live alone, there was once a place where there were a large number of sea lions, attracting a large number of great white sharks, but then the killer whales that appeared drove away the original great white sharks, so killer whales are more powerful than great white sharks, as for polar bears, garbage, so: killer whales "great white sharks" polar bears.
