Abstract A comparison of sea ice cover distribution in the two polar regions. While under similar annual influences of solar radiation, greenhouse effects, the Arctic and Antarctic show markedly different effects on sea ice, temperature and other climatic change indicators. This article summarizes discussions of this held at the Second Workshop on Recent High Latitude Climate Change held in Seattle in October 2007. (mte)
