ANTARCTIC:-
Terrain: About 98% thick ice sheet and 2% barren rock; glaciers form ice shelves along about half of the coastline, and floating ice shelves constitute 11% of the area of the continent. Ice sheet: The continental ice sheet contains approximately 7 million cubic miles (30 million cu km) of ice, representing about 90% of the world's total. Major ice shelves: Amery, Filchner, Larsen, Ronne, Ross. Ice shelves make up about 10% of Antarctica's ice, and are floating sheets of ice attached to land that project out into coastal waters.
Climate: The coldest, windiest, driest continent.
ARCTIC:-
Terrain: Central surface covered by a perennial drifting polar icepack that averages about 3 meters in thickness; the icepack is surrounded by open seas during the summer, but more than doubles in size during the winter and extends to the encircling landmasses.
Climate: Polar climate characterized by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges; winters characterized by continuous darkness, cold and stable weather conditions, and clear skies; summers characterized by continuous daylight, damp and foggy weather, and weak cyclones with rain or snow.
THESE ARE THE INTRESTING FEATURES I FEEL ABOUT THE POLAR REGIONS. IF YOU TOO FEEL IT INTRESTING, THEN PLEASE MARK MY ANSEER AS BRAINLIEST.

Yes , polar regions are very much different from any other place. The various features of polar regions which surprise us are as follows :
1. The temperature is very low as compared to the other lands.
2. The solar radiation is also very low.
3. Presence of the different flora.
4. Presence of the different fauna.
5. High winds blow throughout the year.
6. The polar regions are always covered with ice and snow.
7. Wetter areas have moss and lichens.
8. The precipitation is always in the form of snow.
HOPE YOU GOT IT... :))
