The polar regions refer to the areas located near the Earth's North Pole (Arctic region) and South Pole (Antarctic region). These regions are characterized by extreme cold temperatures, icy landscapes, and unique ecosystems that are adapted to survive in harsh conditions. Research in the polar regions often focuses on studying climate change, glaciology, wildlife, and the impact of human activities on the environment. Scientists in this field utilize remote sensing methods, field observations, and modeling to better understand the processes and dynamics of these fragile ecosystems. Studies in the polar regions are crucial for predicting and mitigating the effects of climate change on a global scale.
