    How can you tell the two poles apart? Where are the penguins? What about the bears? The Arctic pole is located in the Northern Hemisphere within the deep Arctic Ocean, while the Antarctic pole is smack in the middle of the ice-covered Antarctica. Camille Seaman describes how enterprising people and organisms have found ways to reside around both poles despite the frigid temperatures.
    Lesson by Camille Seaman, animation by Provincia Studio.

      -40C and -40F are exactly the same temps. If you convert either into each other they both equal 40. Its like 2 linear equations and their intersection.

    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!!

    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.

    @apostolosblacksmith5424 3 роки тому +7

    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

      The Antarctic froze long before humans arose. However, when the Ice Ages began two million years ago, freezing the Arctic, they probably contributed to humans evolving from arboreal apes. The tropics didn't cool much, but they did dry out, causing forests to turn into savannas and grasslands. Our ancestors were the apes who moved out into open country and stood up.

    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.

      @@seife41 It's about the origin of the name... I don't know if they have been there...
      About 80 percent of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent. About 10 percent of the Latin vocabulary has found its way directly into English without an intermediary (usually French).
      For a time the whole Latin lexicon became potentially English and many words were coined on the basis of Latin precedent. Words of Greek origin have generally entered English in one of three ways: 1) indirectly by way of Latin, 2) borrowed directly from Greek writers, or 3) especially in the case of scientific terms, formed in modern times by combining Greek elements in new ways. The direct influence of the classical languages began with the Renaissance and has continued ever since. Even today, Latin and Greek roots are the chief source for English words in science and technology.
      The name arctic originates from the word 'arktos' which is a Greek word that means bear. The name originates from ursa major and ursa minor constellations that represent the great and little bear respectively. They are seen in the northern hemisphere where they point the north star, hence the name Arctic.
      Antarctica means 'no bears are all mythical'. It is true that there are no bears in Antarctica, but the name comes from a Roman version of the Greek word that is antarktike. “Anti-” is commonly a synonym for the opposite in English as well as in Greek. Thus, Antarctica means opposite of Arctic land, “Anti-” plus the Arctic which forms a compound word. Before Antarctica officially acquired its name, the phrase was used to describe places that contrasted the north. For instance, in the 16th century, the colony that was built by the French was named France Antarctique, and Scottish cartographer John George Bartholomew used it officially around the 1890’s.
