The Arctic is not a continent itself, but a region encompassing parts of several continents, including:
* North America (Greenland, Canada, Alaska)
* Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia)
* Asia (Russia)
The Arctic is often considered a separate geographic region due to its unique environment, including:
* Polar ice cap: The Arctic Ocean is mostly covered in sea ice.
* Tundra ecosystem: The land areas are dominated by treeless, cold-adapted vegetation.
* Indigenous cultures: Many indigenous communities have adapted to the harsh Arctic environment.
