The names Arctic and Antarctica are quite interesting (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

Arctic comes from Greek and means “of the bear”, while Antarctica means the opposite of “of the bear”. But is has nothing to do with the fact that there are polar bears in the Arctic and none in Antarctica. Instead it refers to the fact that you can see Ursa Major from the Arctic
