As the other answers have said, a continent is a large LAND mass and there is no such thing in the Arctic. Although the arctic has landmasses surrounding its borders it is mostly ocean.

Arctic is not considered as a continent but it is a ocean but Antarctica is considered as both continent and ocean.so that antartica is considered as continent..
The most important difference is that Antarctic is a continent while the Arctic is a floating ice cap
