Information About

Polar Region




There are many settlements in Earth's north polar regions, but none except for scientific bases in the south polar regions, which are colder than the northern polar regions.

Other Planet s and Natural Satellite s in the Solar System have interesting quirks about their polar regions. Earth's Moon is thought to contain substantial deposits of Ice in deep craters in its polar regions, which never see direct Sunlight . Mars , like Earth, has Polar Cap s, but unlike Earth's icy caps they consist mostly of Carbon Dioxide . On Uranus , meanwhile, the extreme tilt of the planet's axis leads to the unique situation during the Uranian year of first one pole and then the other pointing almost directly at the Sun .
