Antarctica is divided into East Antarctica and West Antarctica.

The southeast extends from 30 west longitude to170 east longitude, with an area of10180,000 square kilometers.

The southwest is located between 50 ~ 160 west longitude, covering an area of 2.29 million square kilometers.

The Arctic Ocean is roughly centered at the north pole, between Asia, Europe and North America, and is surrounded by three continents. The Arctic Ocean spans 360 longitude and is the longest ocean in the world.

Extended data:

The Arctic Ocean is the surrounding area with the north pole as the center, and it is a vast water area. The Arctic Ocean, located in the Arctic Circle, has a total area of 1365438+ 10,000 square kilometers, which is the smallest of the four oceans in the world, only 1+04 in the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, the Arctic Ocean is also called the Arctic Ocean. The total volume of seawater in the Arctic Ocean is 654.38+06.9 million cubic kilometers, with an average depth of1296m, and the Liedtke Trench is 5449m. The Arctic Ocean accounts for more than 60% of the Arctic area, and more than two-thirds of the sea surface is covered with huge ice cubes with a thickness of one and a half to four meters all the year round.

Due to the movement of ocean currents, the sea ice on the surface of the Arctic Ocean has been drifting, cracking and melting. The total amount of ice and snow in the Arctic is only110 in the Antarctic, and most of it is concentrated in the continental ice sheet of Greenland, while the permanent ice and snow in the Arctic Ocean, other islands and surrounding land only accounts for a small part.
