which is colder arctic or antarctic
Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are cold because they donât get any direct sunlight. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even in the middle of summer. In winter, the Sun is so far below the horizon that it doesnât come up at all for months at a time.he Arctic ice is shrinking because the ocean under the ice is warming. The warming ocean means Earthâs climate is getting warmer. The Antarcticâs climate is also warming, but not as fast, because it is less affected by the warming ocean.
