Arctic
The Arctic is named for the north polar constellation “Arktos”—Greek for “bear.” It is 14.5 million square km (5.5 million square miles)—almost exactly the same size as Antarctica—and has been inhabited by humans for close to 20,000 years. It consists of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean and surrounding land, including all of Greenland and Spitsbergen, and the northern parts of Alaska, Canada, Norway, and Russia.
Its boundary is defined by either the northern limit of stands of trees on land (the treeline), the line of average July temperature of ~10°C (50°F), or the Arctic Circle, an imaginary line of latitude located at 66 degrees 33 minutes North. North of this line, the sun never sets on the summer solstice (June 21st).Some of the land parts of the Arctic, like Greenland, are covered with ice sheets; others, like Alaska, have lush tundra.
These areas have large mammals, such as caribou, bears, wolves and foxes, and a variety of plants. In summer, migratory birds and other wildlife come to the Arctic to raise their young. The size and shape of the Arctic Ocean Basins are roughly similar to those of the Antarctic continent, and is 1.5 times the size of the continental US. The Arctic Ocean seafloor is subdivided by three great parallel mountain ranges, or ridges, between Greenland and Siberia. The Nansen-Gakkel Ridge (Arctic Mid-Ocean It is also very deep, reaching more than 4,000 meters (13,000 feet or 2½ miles) in some areas. It is mostly covered by pack ice (frozen seawater) averaging 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) thick. The ice drifts around the polar basin under the influence of winds and currents. When the floes collide, the ice forms a jagged line of ice chunks known as a pressure ridge

Antarctic
Antarctic Treaty defers claims; sections (some overlapping) claimed by Argentina, Australia, Chile, France (Adelie Land), New Zealand (Ross Dependency), Norway (Queen Maud Land) and United Kingdom. The United States and most other nations do not recognize the territorial claims of other nations and have made no claims themselves (the U.S. reserves the right to do so). No formal claims have been made in the sector between 90° W and 150° W.

Severe low temperatures vary with latitude, elevation and distance from the ocean. East Antarctica is colder than West Antarctica because of its higher elevation. The Antarctic Peninsula has the most moderate climate. Higher temperatures occur in January along the coast and average slightly below freezing.

None presently exploited. Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals, and coal and hydrocarbons have been found in small, uncommercial quantities

A Flexible, Mobile Career Choice

The Medical Transcription field is flexible, portable, and in demand. Many medical transcriptionists (MTs) work from their homes as independent contractors, subcontractors, or home-based employees.

Because a large amount of the work is received and submitted over the Internet, an MT can live in Texas, work for a company based in Philadelphia, and transcribe for a hospital in California. If you currently live in Florida but need to relocate to Washington, you can take your job with you.
