polar climate

A polar climate is a type of climate that is characterized by extremely cold temperatures, with average temperatures below freezing for most of the year. These climates are typically found in regions near the earth's poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctica. Polar climates also often experience long periods of darkness in the winter and extended daylight in the summer. Precipitation in polar climates is generally low, and much of it falls as snow. These harsh conditions make polar climates one of the most challenging environments for human habitation.
