<p>1- Land and ocean</p>
<p>The Arctic is in fact a frozen ocean surrounded by land. On the contrary, the South Pole is the land of a continent full of mountains and lakes surrounded by the ocean. The Antarctic contains about 90% of the world's ice</p>
<p>2. Ice</p>
<p>The Antarctic contains about 90% of the world's ice; about 75% of the planet's freshwater is present; Antarctica seems to hold fresh water; many regions of the world suffer from drought and lack of fresh water</p>

<p>3. Ownership</p>
<p>Although there are many flags of the country planted in Antarctica, which were planted by explorers on their travels, the Antarctic remains the only land on the planet that does not belong to any country and is not owned by anyone; the continent has no history of indigenous people or the like, It is politically controlled by the 1959 South Pole Treaty, which states that the Antarctic lands should be reserved for peaceful and scientific purposes; on the contrary, the Arctic, politically governed by several states - Canada, the United States, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and the Netherlands Aj.</p>
<p>4. Black gold</p>
<p>Studies show that a quarter of the world's unused oil reserves are in the Arctic. Russia was the first to search for oil in the region, followed by the United States; while there is a possibility of oil in the South Pole; but the Antarctic Treaty makes the exploitation - if any - is not possible at the moment.</p>

<p>5- Penguins and polar bears</p>
<p>There is a general belief - Christmas cards - that penguins and polar bears live in one place; otherwise, penguins are colonized by the Antarctic, while bears live in the Arctic.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In fact, penguins do not suffer from any enemies on the ground; unlike their sea enemies like seals, their wings have turned into paddles to help them in the water.</p>
<p>6. The title "Santa Claus"</p>
<p>People tell their children that Santa Claus, who brings gifts to them at Christmas, lives in the Arctic. Children usually write letters to Santa Claus and send them to his address with the Alaska postal code. In Alaska, Christmas has another atmosphere. A magician, unlike the South Pole where there are only scientific research stations.</p>

<p>7. Cold</p>
<p>The Arctic is characterized by a cold climate; the average temperature is below 49 degrees Celsius; the Arctic atmosphere can be considered more merciful; winter temperatures are 34 below zero; in the summer the temperature in the various Arctic regions ranges from minus 10 And 10 above zero.</p>
<p>8. Ozone hole</p>
<p>Ozone is a gas found in the upper atmosphere that protects the Earth from harmful radiation. The ozone hole is not actually a hole; it is an area where the ozone concentration is very low and the ozone layer above the Antarctic is much worse than its position in the Arctic; The South creates favorable conditions for the dismantling of ozone.</p>

<p>9 - the cracks</p>
<p>Because the Arctic is a thin layer of ice frozen over the ocean; it is very sensitive to climate changes, and high temperatures in the summer lead to the melting of a large part of the snow and the occurrence of large cracks; which is not happening in the South Pole.</p>
<p>10. Solubility</p>
<p>In the Arctic, there is a certain freezing and melting cycle. About half of the ice melts in the summer months and then recedes to about the United States during the winter. Climate studies indicate that Greenland's thick Arctic ice sheet, Melin is rapidly eroding, reaching half of its size by the end of this century. Other studies suggest that within a few tens of years the Arctic may be free of ice during the summer months! Studies also show that the Antarctic is also losing its ice, and if the Antarctic snow melts completely, this will lead to a 60-meter rise in water levels in the world's seas.</p>
