The Polar Region is an area of the Earth that is located around the North and South Poles. It is made up of two distinct regions, the ARCTIC and the Antarctic. The ARCTIC is located in the northern hemisphere and is characterized by its cold climate and vast ice sheets. The Antarctic is located in the southern hemisphere and is home to the continent of ANTARCTICA, which is the fifth largest continent in the world. Both regions are important for their unique ecosystems and wildlife, as well as their role in global climate change.
