The polar regions of the arctic are about 21 million square miles of land, ice water. Temperature in the Arctic average below zero in the winter about 35 degrees in the summer. The Arctic receives approximately 100 inches of precipitation a year, mostly snowfall. While winter in Arctic is so long, lasting eight or nine months, but summer is relatively short, lasting on two. There is no real fall or spring.
Antartica is the coldest, windiest and the driest continent on Earth. The average annual temperature ranges from about 10 degrees on the Antarctic coast to 60 degrees at the highest parts of the interior.
The animals that live in Antartica live there because there are some very important things there that they need, like... 1. Lots of water everywhere so they can hunt fish 2. Ice 3. Other animals of the same species 4. And finally that habitat is perfect for them
Would it be easy for humans to explore the ecosystem?
For us humans to explore the Arctics ecosystem is not quite easy because some part of the Arctic is extremely cold for us to go down beneath the Arctic.
Could there be animals living in the Arctic ecosystem?
I think there might be animals that are in the Arctic ecosystem that wasn't yet been discovered because the Arctic is too cold for us to discover most of the thing.
