Well, so much for scientific research in Antarctica…it’s about to be a war zone.

      Fun fact, though you may have known. Arctic basically means “of the bear” because of the northern position of Ursa Major (bear constellation, also the Big Dipper). Antarctic means “not of the bear”. Because of how words work, it’s also Arctic = “north” and Antarctic = “anti-north”.

        Also pretty fun coincidence that the northern one is the only one with actual bears.
