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.
Birds: "Yo, we gotta fly South for winter." Penguins: "Damn it, we went too far."
"Who are all these wierdo's, don't tell me we're in Australia!" "Ey mate look, a penguin!"
dammit we had to swim instead
Underrated comments
Thats why Penguins cant fly
What The what’s this from? Madagascar?
You know it's cold when -40C = -40F.
I don't get it
-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.
I know that, but I dont get why the 2 equalling each other makes it that much colder than say -20°
Paul Wong I'd say because -40 degrees is pretty darn cold :P
I know its cold but I don't get the joke of 40=40
Teacher: So what did you learn? Me: That the Brazilian flag doesn't follow the laws of wind.
Nope, only 🇧🇷 follows the laws checkout at 2:43 😁
crime in Brazil is so intense we defy the laws of physics
No, the animator doesn't follow the laws of wind.
Observation much!!! 😃
Check again. The other flags are the ones facing the wrong direction
“Even the most extreme animals fight for survival” *cuts to penguin*
are you implying that penguins aren't extreme animals?
Mate you ever seen a penguin?
this guy doesn't even know how difficult is the life of a pinguin.
guys just let him crack his joke,, B) i enjoyed it
Kowalksi, analysis!
Pretty soon this will be a history lesson.

Wajahat Khan 👏
Maybe we should try to decrease our GHG footprint?
Deep..... er than the Arctic Ocean
Yea in a couple 100 years
It’s amazing how the Inuit people survived and thrived in the Arctic for so long. Strong, creative people.
It really doesn't take a lot if time for humans to get adopted to their surroundings. So Arctic people got used to climate long time ago and they're just fine with it.
People survive in slums with disease ridden lakes, never underestimate humanity's will to live
They also eat ZERO carbohydrates there entire lives & were virtually CANCER free. Until they feed them the SAD diet. Standard American Diet😢😢🤯
There's two definitions for directions according to the Greek in this situation. North Not north
Anti north
@@wilma2317 Nega North
Lmao
Opposite of North Not North could be east or west as well as South
Anti is the opposite of, according to us Greeks.
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.
😂😂😂
Thank goodness bad teachers can't get fired
hey, at least you have a nice story to tell
Are you sure you didn't go into Squidward Community Highschool?
I don't believe you
You know how I differentiate the North Pole and the South Pole? North Pole = No Penguins South Pole = Some Penguins🐧🐧🐧
very good mnemonic
BinTanBlanc I love penguins they are so cute :3 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
BinTanBlanc ?
can you find the penguin in my reply???
RobotHorseAaron Errr the word *_penguin_*?
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.
+Mike Hillenbrand YEAH tell us more please xD
Mike Hillenbrand a workshop with slavework of the elfs
Mike Hillenbrand no its a concentration camp for elves
Dоgе Christmas magic is confusing the scientists
He lives in Lapland
For 39 years I could have swore that penguins and polar bears lived side by side. Welp, there goes that...
Polar bears would eat them. Polar bears will consume anything weak enough including you.
I thought the same
wow you jenius, you clearly didn't study lol.
@@qiliu9836 i think you meant Genius, study up on your english bud

2:06 the impossible physics of the Brazillian flag
There is really an invisible guy shaking the flag back and forth.
blackmailz THIS NEEDS MORE LIKES
Nope. See
Lol. Still not an argentinian flag aroud there. 😐
blackmailz Brazilian are so overpowered, that by using the power of "Brazilian Memes are the best!" They can shift the space and time, break the fisics, and create dinosaurs in an inexistente place. (Acre) Glória ao Brasil. Câmbio HuE, desligi.
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!!
I feel like the film Klaus was set in this area xD
@@kurobara6230 ah, yes.
Lol. As always. Chileans being where theyre not supposed too
thanks for this comment! It is called Villa Las Estrellas
This video is precise, accurate, objective and fun. A lot of information, but palatable. Congratulations to the author!
Sorry, NOT accurate. 'Arctic' comes from the Greek word for bear: Arktos.
Most birds: aight let’s head south for winter Penguins: this south
I feel that she says "anarctica" instead of "antarctica". Anyone else?
She's skipping the "t" in the word. That's an American accent for ya.
+Dementos I'm American, and I hear the "t". An-tar-tic-a is how it sounds out.
+Orange Flame Sometimes she does skip it though.
+Abhinav Deep Singh I know right and it's really annoying
+Dementos I say the t and I'm from America. You can't generalize a country that's 2000 miles long.
The artic: the north The antarctic: not the north
Ain't artic
Not the mama
Give this guy an award of originality.
arCtic
N O R T H N ' T
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!
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
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.
Edwin Luciano You've actually changed the correct order of operations with the parentheses you've added. The correct formula is C x 9/5 +32 = F. So -40 x 9/5 +32 = -40 is actually true.
And I feel like it's not that big of a deal either: Just solve for C or F; 2 variables and 2 equations: F = C and, F = (9*C/5) + 32
Oooor we could just use Celsius like the rest of the world and we whould not have this problem
I don’t think anyone was saying you were wrong...
Parakh Mody No, we will forever use our way.
seriously, thank you SO much for saying GEOGRAPHIC south pole! it's not the magnetic south pole :)
+JJ24x7 It was my response aswell when I heard her say that :D
+JJ24x7 north pole is actually south pole,cause magnet's north pole attract to north pole.
+just L. I know. but it depends on whether you say magnetic or not
+JJ24x7 actually you might have figured it out of the context :D
learn that in science class, it blow my mind.
You forgot the funnest etymological fact about the Arctic: that it comes from the Greek word for bear
I never knew there was a difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic. What an awesome new information!
Because they change history as they please
The houses in the vid actually look very nordic. Nice job! :)
Lol , and dang girl you’re KZhead channel is ssoo cute im so subscribing you
Those penguins are so cute
Bruh
hopefully, you didn't forget your password
Beautiful animation. And nicely summed up!
My teacher picked this for us to watch and use the facts for a piece of work. She was right to pick this video!
It bugs me that they use ft for distance and celcius for temperature. Pick a unit system and stick with it :-/
They had both the metric and non-metric statistics for all of them. Not sure what you are getting at. In her narration, she flip-flopped a bit, but everything is present if you actually watch the video.
I prefer SI since it’s accepted globally But yeah that’s an error right there
What do you suggest SI, CGS or FPS?
I suggest we make up our own systems for every family and go on with it
Not every country similar with Fahrenheit or Celcius,feet or km
This was wholesome :) Thanks for the information you never disappoint us with the science episodes they are really neat
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
Neil S really?
두 극지방 북극과 남극에 대하여 알아보는 시간이 되었습니다. 또 두 극지방의 차이점을 조금 더 명확하게 알게된 유익한 시간이 되었습니다. 정말 감사합니다.
what did you say🤔
2:05 Why is the Brazilian flag pointing in a different direction then the others?
Now THAT'S the real question, the meaning of life. What could be hidden behind this picture? Are they trying to brainwash us? Is this real life? why did u ask this question
Brehat the baby rat I just noticed it and thought it looked weird. Also the wind is blowing in a completely different direction.
+DasNichts79 That's actually an interesting question.
I guess they didnt think it through and just plopped it for the sake of animation not thinking about logic.
+Brehat the baby rat No, all is okay. No one is trying to brainwash anyone. My profile picture serves as proof that what I tell you is indeed authentic and definitely not propaganda of the illuminati.
Antarctica is basically mars with air 😐
and ice
and hookers...... ahh screw the ice....and the air!
gorftpael nice futurama reference
The lowest recorded temerature recorded on Antarctica is way below the average temperature on Mars. That's freaky. XD
doodelay and lots of water
Good job Gramps! Great Legacy fostered - for, the benefit of all - "Great & Small."
A too much good channel for short and concise knowledge and study videos...
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
The other town being Argentina's Esperanza Base.
India's Maitri
Ya, it's a base/station though, with different population in winter and summer. Antarctica never had indigenous human population might be the fact they're trying to point out
great education video content!
Learned so much! Thank you 🙏
Thank you TedEd for the introduce of the metric system
İ also watch this video from Azerbaijan Thank you TED ed.
Teacher: What's the diffence between Artic and Antarctica? Fourth graders: *ThE sPeLliNg!*
lol
I never learned this at school. So, I'm not going to school now. I'm learning here the way💁♂️
this was both really informative and entertaining :)
"The seasons are conspiring against the Antarctic." Hahaha, I love that!
We must protect our oceans and ozone layer to survive.
Actually "arktikos" derives from "arktos" which means bear in Greek
I've lived in the Canadian arctic for years now and I love it
Watching this late enough that I am getting ads for sleep meditation
So What's The Point of the comparing of 40 F And 40 C?
Important to notice for people not knowing that those are the same in both.
It's even more weird to know that from here the north is hotter and the south is colder.
yes and no
Wow what a visual presentation made.
1:13 that guy must be enormous then.
Lol
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.
Long before humans were around
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.
Starting to feel bad for Santa claus. He's gonna have to move.
Excellent video, thank you !!
This clip was made 9 years ago and we are still waiting for the Catastrophe....give it up !
No one The narrator: *Ant-arctic*
Only one of the four countries you showed on Antartica have an Antarctic claim, Brazil, USA and Japan don't have claims
So only the uk have claims in Antarctica?
Jack Sparrow Other not mentioned countries, such as Russia, have claims.
Kyle Netherwood Russia doesn't have a claim, they are in the same boat as US, where they have reserved a right to make a claim after the treaty preventing them expires, but countries who had a pre existing claim got to keep them, these include: Australia, New Zealand, UK, chile, Argentina, Norway and France
those countries can fuck off with their claims.
Roman Barna the countries that the video show ain't making any research at all douchebag
These clips are what's still great about KZhead.
TED literally answers all unanswered life questions
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!!!
fahrenheit is for pussies
+TheCrabbit2 Fahrenheit's also for doctors... 😁😐
+Funkiemunkytootiedo for a day
+TheCrabbit2 -45 Fehrenheit is almost the same as -45 Celcius. So your point is invalid.
what about the south? Oh,Vostok.
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?
The arctic would be much, much drier and the areas south of the arctic would be much more desolate. The ANTARCTIC I’m not really sure about. A mass of ocean that continuous could have catastrophic weather effects on the north
So who would win in a fight, the Arctic or the Antarctic?
This was nice & informative...thanks!
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.
Thanks for clarifying that! It really bugged me, too.
Shafissa Assifahs bomb shaka
I started believing that i mispronounced Antarctica for years🤣🤣
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.
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.
Could penguins survive at the North pole and could polar bears survive at the south pole?
The polar bears are probably the reason there's no penguins lol
If they survive where it gets colder I'm sure they can!!
You mean as switching their habitat? Yes geographical, but not ecological. Living together, certain species would go extinct if it happened including themselves eventually.
The northern water tribe and the southern water tribe.
I realized while watching this video that I was exactly 53 years too old for it.
hm this information is quite useful to my classes, thanks!
Wow. Cool video.
Not all of the Antarctica is covered with land.
This video raised me some questioning: Aphelium and Perihelium. she stated that southern hemisphere has winter during aphelium. I found this odd (and i checked wikipedia that she is right) for i have the idea that July northern summer (and southern winter) are quite short when compared to November - January northern winter (and southern Summer). i would expect (due to Kepler 2nd law) that aphelium being longer than perihelium, would represent southern summer, and since northern winter is on average more harsh than southern, it should take place during aphelium (both for time, and colder temperatures) i'm a bit confused now. Why is Norhtern winter more snowy than southern (the same as why is southern summer hotter than northern) if it happens during perihelium?
Very informative, thank you.
1:21 Is that a mistake or is that seriously just how the numbers coincidently line up?
Allison Koester -40ºC is actually the only temperature in which the Fahrenheit equivalent is numerically the same.
thumbs up if youre watching this from antartica!
Alexandar Ivanov I can tell by ur last name haha
I am watching this from centre of the earth.
I liked it, though i'm not from Antarctica 😂😂😂 Btw...I'm from asia ( india )
I'm watching this from equator
@Sreyansh Ranjan geography now
I am using this for my history lessonsm this is so good
I love snowy places ⛄❄
Arctic: "QUESTION: What kind of bear is best?" Antarctic: "That's a ridiculous question." Arctic: "FALSE. Polar bear." Antarctic: "Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought..." Arctic: "FACT: Polar bears eat seals. Polar bears. Seals..."
Gustav Gnöttgen IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE GUSTAV
-40C = -40F? (1:19)
Yes
Allen Robertson -40C is actually -12F, but whatever it's really, really cold
Are you kidding me? -40C is actually -40F. Go learn some heat before commenting nonsense!
The Celsius scale is 32 degrees below the Fahrenheit scale. By that logic, -40 degrees Celsius is actually - 12 degrees Fahrenheit. So I don't see how I'm wrong.
(°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F
I always use arctic vs anti-arctic to remember. It helps that I know about polar bears way before penguins (as a little kid)
Very interesting information. Thanks.
Antartika is way, way, way, way, way, way, waaaaaaaaay cooler than the arctic.
yea?
fjoa123 wow, CHILL down with the "way" dude
@@ilanzatonski8826 let people type however they want. Chiiiiiiill
Only because of the awesome dance clubs
about 30-40 degrees cooler I think. So yes, it would be cooler :)
Well I know where I’m moving once global warming *really* takes effect
0:15 Gotta love the creativity of whoever named the Arctic and Antarctic. Arktikos - "of the North" Antarktikos - "opposite of North" Just like how some people remember which shoe goes on which foot. "Left, and not left."
4 years late
Amazing, liked & subscribed!
Wait so temperature drops with elevation but hot air rises? I’m confused 🤔
Well I guess there are just many more major causes for the temperature shift like (no facts Im just guessing) air pressure, wich makes it colder, since pressure is directly proportional to temperature.
While hot air rises, it also expandes and looses heat.
"Camille Seaman" i am very childish
Narrator: "Even the most extreme animals fight for survival..." Protista: "Hold my beer..."
little lesson at the end of the video. TY
1:45 "OK WHAT ABOUT ANARCTICA"
An extra 'A' for your exam
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
To anyone wondering in the comments if she is pronouncing the "t" and an "n", she IS, but se is pronouncing "nt" as a single phoneme, "ɾ̃" or "n̆", when they are between vowels. That phoneme is called "alveolar nasal tap" or "alveolar nasal flap. Here's a Wikipedia article about it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_and_alveolar_taps_and_flaps
wow uh thanks
Thank you for superb explanation....👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thanks for using degree Celsius, kilometer and millimeter. But you used mile so... I'm taking my Thanks back. Great video though.
I never knew Arctic was an ocean....
yeah, i thought it is also a big landmass
Lmfao seriously? Do you people never crack a book or go to class? How is this not common knowledge. Curious which country decided to not teach their people, are you American by chance?
Morgan Last Australian here, also didn't know that. I don't recall ever learning of it.
Macoba19 yes it was.
Ninjuh021 another school system fail.
There's a number missing in the km conversion for the given depth of the Arctic ocean (at 1:14). Gosh, what a sentence!
thankkk you for the videoo. its simple but yet full of knowledge
