Introduction

The poles can be found on the very top of the Earth and on the very
bottom.

The coldest temperatures on Earth are recorded here, the coldest ever
being -129.3°F (-89.6°C)!

Over 70% of all the fresh water on Earth is frozen in Antarctic.

Since these places are so cold and harsh the animals that live there
have had to make some adaptations in order to survive. Let's read
about some of these amazing animals.
