Las regiones polares están compuestas por los círculos polares Ártico y Antártico. Ambas regiones están en su mayor parte cubiertas de hielos, producto de la acumulación de nieve invernal que no alcanza a ser fundida por la luz solar durante el verano. Son características de los mares polares las grandes masas de hielos llamadas icebergs, bloques que por estar situados al borde de las costas se desprenden y comienzan a flotar a la deriva. La Antártica es un continente, formado por una vasta extensión rocosa de forma cóncava y está rodeada de océano. El Ártico, en cambio, es un océano que permanece congelado en forma permanente y se encuentra rodeado de continentes. Curiosamente, ambos, Antártica y Ártico, tienen una superficie muy similar: alrededor de 14 millones de kilómetros cuadrados. Este libro investiga cómo sobreviven las plantas, animales y personas en las regiones más frías de la Tierra.
