ONorth Poleit's theSouth Poleare two geographic regions located, respectively, in the extreme north and in the extreme south of the Earth, recording the coldest temperatures on our planet and being characterized by the vastness of ice that the recovers. Despite this, these two regions are very different. Now let's know a little more about each of the terrestrial poles.
ONorth Pole, also known as Arctic, is not even considered as a continent, since it is composed only of ice and ice caps. Despite this, there is animal life in this region, especially polar bears and some types of fish that live below the ice sheets, as well as whales, seals and sea lions.
already theSouth Pole, also known as Antarctica, is a continent, as it is a portion of land covered by large layers of ice. Unlike the North Pole, it has variations in altitude, which makes it cooler in higher regions. Among the animals that live in Antarctica, penguins and other species that appear in the region to escape the heat or to breed, such as whales and some species of birds, stand out.
solving the riddle: in a fight between a sea lion and a penguin, who would win?
Nobody. They live in different poles and will never meet!
Penguins only inhabit the planet's South Pole
Do Eskimos live at the North Pole or the South Pole?
At the North Pole. But in fact, they don't live exactly in the far north of the planet, but rather in the regions of Alaska, northern Canada and Russia, which are very close to the Arctic region.
