abstract |
The Arctic and the Antarctic are situated diametrically opposite each other on the
planet, and their polar locations lead to them sharing some obvious similarities in
climate and other characteristics. In some respects, however, their differences are
more profound, and possibly the most significant of these is that the Arctic is fundamentally
an ocean surrounded by land, whereas the Antarctic is a major continental landmass
encircled by a vast and isolating ocean (Figure 8.1). This ocean – the Southern Ocean
– has a profound influence on regional and global climate, on the glaciation of the
Antarctic continent, and on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. |
