The Arctic vs. the Antarctic - Camille Seaman 

Birds: "Yo, we gotta fly South for winter." Penguins: "Damn it, we went too far."

You know it's cold when -40C = -40F.

Teacher: So what did you learn? Me: That the Brazilian flag doesn't follow the laws of wind.

There's two definitions for directions according to the Greek in this situation. North Not north

It’s amazing how the Inuit people survived and thrived in the Arctic for so long. Strong, creative people.

“Even the most extreme animals fight for survival” *cuts to penguin*

When I was in high school, we had a teacher who believed that Antarctica was the world’s largest iceberg. She also claimed that Antarctica stays at the bottom of the world because it is very heavy. Obviously this was at a public school in the United States.

For 39 years I could have swore that penguins and polar bears lived side by side. Welp, there goes that...

Pretty soon this will be a history lesson.

Hi, great video but just one clarification. There really are permanent residents in the Bridgeman islands a few kilometers off the main Antarctic penninsula. It's a small town at a base whose residents are the families of Chilean military and scientific staff. They have a small school, a hospital, a post office, a bank, library and even a little church. Residents (staff and families) range at about 150 throughout the summer and reduce to half during winter. Thought it was good to aknowledge. thanks again for the great work in the series!!

On an average day Ted ed teaches me more than almost all my school teachers put together for months

This video is precise, accurate, objective and fun. A lot of information, but palatable. Congratulations to the author!

You know how I differentiate the North Pole and the South Pole? North Pole = No Penguins South Pole = Some Penguins🐧🐧🐧

santa just wants us to think the north poles an ocean with constantly shifting ice, perfect place to hide a workshop if you ask me.

Most birds: aight let’s head south for winter Penguins: this south

I'm using this for a power-point I need to make at school and it took several replays to get all the information because this video is packed to the brim with information. Thank You Ted-Ed!

2:06 the impossible physics of the Brazillian flag

I feel that she says "anarctica" instead of "antarctica". Anyone else?

One clarification about the origin of the names: Arktikos (stressed on the last syllable, not the first), is an adjective derived from arktos, which means 'bear', so arktikos (masc) means 'of the bear'. Naming the north 'Arktiki' (fem) originates from the greek names of two constellations near the polar, the ursa minor and ursa major - mikri arktos and megali arktos in greek, meaning 'small bear' and 'big bear', of course. The myth on how these constellations came to be is quite beautiful; for anyone interested, here's a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callisto_(mythology)#Myth

두 극지방 북극과 남극에 대하여 알아보는 시간이 되었습니다. 또 두 극지방의 차이점을 조금 더 명확하게 알게된 유익한 시간이 되었습니다. 정말 감사합니다.

The artic: the north The antarctic: not the north

Negative 40 degrees Celsius *does* equal Negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit. One formula you can use is: *F = (9/5) C + 32* F= - 40 * 9 = - 360 F= - 360/5 = - 72 F= - 72 + 32 = - 40 F= - 40 It's crazy. But it's true. It's the only temperature that's the same in Celsius as it is in Fahrenheit.

Beautiful animation. And nicely summed up!

You forgot the funnest etymological fact about the Arctic: that it comes from the Greek word for bear

seriously, thank you SO much for saying GEOGRAPHIC south pole! it's not the magnetic south pole :)

Those penguins are so cute

My teacher picked this for us to watch and use the facts for a piece of work. She was right to pick this video!

I never knew there was a difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic. What an awesome new information!

great education video content!

The houses in the vid actually look very nordic. Nice job! :)

Learned so much! Thank you 🙏

A too much good channel for short and concise knowledge and study videos...

2:05 Why is the Brazilian flag pointing in a different direction then the others?

This was wholesome :) Thanks for the information you never disappoint us with the science episodes they are really neat

Good job Gramps! Great Legacy fostered - for, the benefit of all - "Great & Small."

Wow what a visual presentation made.

Actually "arktikos" derives from "arktos" which means bear in Greek

It bugs me that they use ft for distance and celcius for temperature. Pick a unit system and stick with it :-/

I'm loving these quick info vids but this is the very first time in all my years i have heard minus temperatures described as negative

Very interesting information. Thanks.

actually people DO live on antartica theres a chilean town called "villa las estrellas" which even has a school in it, there's an argentinian town as well but i an't remember de name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Las_Estrellas

Antarctica is basically mars with air 😐

Thank you TedEd for the introduce of the metric system

Very informative, thank you.

1:13 that guy must be enormous then.

It's even more weird to know that from here the north is hotter and the south is colder.

Excellent video, thank you !!

Very good!

We must protect our oceans and ozone layer to survive.

I never learned this at school. So, I'm not going to school now. I'm learning here the way💁‍♂️

Very nice video .

Thank you for superb explanation....👌👌👌👍👍👍

Teacher: What's the diffence between Artic and Antarctica? Fourth graders: *ThE sPeLliNg!*

"The seasons are conspiring against the Antarctic." Hahaha, I love that!

Great you should make of every subject

I love this lessons😊

Watching this late enough that I am getting ads for sleep meditation

Starting to feel bad for Santa claus. He's gonna have to move.

little lesson at the end of the video. TY

So who would win in a fight, the Arctic or the Antarctic?

The northern water tribe and the southern water tribe.

Wow. Cool video.

Thanks. I loved the way it was presented. Antarctica have the cleanest air and that's why there are many researchers. Antarctica reflects light from the sun and that's a way it maintains heat in the planet.

Very true information found it informative

Only one of the four countries you showed on Antartica have an Antarctic claim, Brazil, USA and Japan don't have claims

So What's The Point of the comparing of 40 F And 40 C?

Thanks for the video❤️❤️❤️

this was both really informative and entertaining :)

Cool video, although the Greek word "Arktikos" (North) comes from Arctos, which means bear. They also forgot to mention that until 20 million years ago in Antarctica, and until 2 million years ago in the Arctic, both poles were glacier-free.

Could penguins survive at the North pole and could polar bears survive at the south pole?

I've lived in the Canadian arctic for years now and I love it

Thank you

Not all of the Antarctica is covered with land.

No one The narrator: *Ant-arctic*

This clip was made 9 years ago and we are still waiting for the Catastrophe....give it up !

I have always wanted to understand this difference.

I need to point out one important thing: her comment about the "double whammy" during the ephilion solstice is misleading. The effect on temperatures due to the distance from the sun is essentially insignificant relative to the earth's tilt. So, it's not really a double whammy ... just a single whammy.

What would climate patterns be like if the Arctic were continuous land, and the Antarctic empty sea? How about ocean currents and wave patterns? Would the Antarctic Ocean be even more terrifying or calmer?

Loved th animations in this video

This was nice & informative...thanks!

Fantarctic!

thumbs up if youre watching this from antartica!

Good lessons

Very interesting!

I started believing that i mispronounced Antarctica for years🤣🤣

Wait so temperature drops with elevation but hot air rises? I’m confused 🤔

TED literally answers all unanswered life questions

great, thanks for the video

Well I know where I’m moving once global warming *really* takes effect

We just had a record breaking low of -45 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago at the beginning of January. Bring it on North Pole!!! Chi-Town can take you!!!

I love snowy places ⛄❄

thankkk you for the videoo. its simple but yet full of knowledge

Antartika is way, way, way, way, way, way, waaaaaaaaay cooler than the arctic.

1:21 Is that a mistake or is that seriously just how the numbers coincidently line up?

Thanks 👍

I am using this for my history lessonsm this is so good

1:45 "OK WHAT ABOUT ANARCTICA"

"Camille Seaman" i am very childish

my bucket list is to visit south pole once in my life

Thank you!!!
