Polar Regions

1 The Earth's North and South Poles are far away from each other. They have something in common- freezing cold! They are covered by snow and ice almost all year round. We call these two regions around the North and South Poles the Polar Regions. They make up the world's coldest biome. The North Pole is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean and the northern edges of three continents. They are Europe, Asia, and North America. We call this region the Arctic. At the other end of the Earth lies the South Pole. It is on a continent called Antarctica. Do you know which polar region is colder? Antarctica is colder. Indeed, no other place in the world can beat its record low temperature of 126 degrees below zero!
