Polar Ice Biome

Location of Polar Ice Biome 9/22/2018

Polar Ice Biome This biome refers to the large polar ice cap found in the frigid zone environments of the Arctic, Greenland and Antarctica. The Polar Ice biome is a marine biome that is rich in nutrients from the land around them, and contain ice.  This makes the perfect environment for plankton, and plankton fuel the surrounding ecosystem. 9/22/2018

Climate Comparison 9/22/2018

Climate Basically, it's below freezing here year round. Summer daytime temperature: + 5 C Summer nighttime temperature:  -30 C 9/22/2018

Climate 9/22/2018

Plant Species It's ICE, folks!  There are no higher plants; in some areas algae may grow in the snow and give it a pinkish color. With no exposed soil, it's hard for plants to take root, so there really isn't much of a base for a biological community on land (with the exception of those algae in the snow and perhaps a few insects that feed on them).  9/22/2018

Animal Species Few animals live in the Polar Ice Biome because they have to adapted to extreme conditions to live here. Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) 9/22/2018

Animal Species Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) 9/22/2018

Animal Species Penguins 9/22/2018

Animal Species Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) 9/22/2018

Phytoplankton 9/22/2018

Animal Species Arctic Fox 9/22/2018

Animal Species Arctic Hare 9/22/2018

Animal Species Arctic Wolf 9/22/2018

Polar Bear 9/22/2018

Animal Species Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) 9/22/2018

Threats There aren't a lot of people running out to build houses on the polar ice biome.  Development is not a major problem, nor is there much pressure from human populations (although pollution problems near human settlements can be severe; it is a great technical challenge to effect efficient sewage treatment in a cold environment, for instance). 9/22/2018

Threats The biggest threat, however, is from oil and gas development and the resulting global warming. 9/22/2018
