Arctic
The North Pole is not as cold as the South Pole which means that people can live there. Warm water can't get to the Arctic Ocean to warm it up because it is surrounded by land. The Arctic, unlike Antarctica does not have land beneath the ice. It is made up of extremely thick layers of pack ice and snow.
