The earth has two large polar regions.

The north polar region is known as the Arctic. It's made up of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Alaska, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden.

The south polar region is known as the Antarctic. It's made up of the frozen continent of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean.
