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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

2:06 the impossible physics of the Brazillian flag

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

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

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

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!!

The artic: the north The antarctic: not the north

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.

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

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.

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'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

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

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

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

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

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

Those penguins are so cute

Beautiful animation. And nicely summed up!

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

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

great education video content!

Learned so much! Thank you 🙏

Thank you TedEd for the introduce of the metric system

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

Antarctica is basically mars with air 😐

Wow what a visual presentation made.

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

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

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

Very informative, thank you.

Very interesting information. Thanks.

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

We must protect our oceans and ozone layer to survive.

TED literally answers all unanswered life questions

this was both really informative and entertaining :)

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

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

Excellent video, thank you !!

little lesson at the end of the video. TY

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

1:13 that guy must be enormous then.

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

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

Wow. Cool video.

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

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

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

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

Great you should make of every subject

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

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?

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.

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

This was nice & informative...thanks!

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

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.

hm this information is quite useful to my classes, thanks!

This video deserves to be a history lesson.

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

The northern water tribe and the southern water tribe.

I believe the effect is felt as a phase shift in how seasons change. Later Spring and longer fall temps. At least that is what I have noticed over my 70+yrs. in the Northeast US.

Loved th animations in this video

Fantarctic!

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 HAVE TO SAY THIS HELPED MORE THAN A WEBSITE FOR MY HOMEWORK

I love this lessons😊

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

No one The narrator: *Ant-arctic*

I love snowy places ⛄❄

Thanks for the video❤️❤️❤️

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

Not all of the Antarctica is covered with land.

Very good!

These clips are what's still great about KZfaq.

thumbs up if youre watching this from antartica!

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

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

Very nice video .

I started believing that i mispronounced Antarctica for years🤣🤣

I was going to post that you forgot to convert -40 degrees-C to Fahrenheit, and then realized -40 is the point at which the temperature on the centigrade scale and Fahrenheit scale are equal. LOL

great, thanks for the video

Very interesting!

1:45 "OK WHAT ABOUT ANARCTICA"

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

Perfect way to learn the compass.

We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close
