The polar zone refers to the region surrounding the North and South poles that is characterized by extreme cold and long periods of darkness or daylight. There are several synonyms for this term, including the Arctic and Antarctic regions, the high latitudes, the frigid zone, and the polar regions. These regions are home to unique ecosystems, including polar bears, penguins, and other cold-adapted species. Climate change poses a significant threat to these regions, as melting ice and rising temperatures could have severe environmental, economic, and social consequences. As such, many countries and organizations are working to protect and preserve the polar zones for future generations.
