NATURAL OR NOT.
- It's natural because the ecosystems was developed by itself. But us people only tries to create the ecosystem like the real one.

Abiotic and biotic factors
The polar regions of the arctic are about 21 million square miles of land, ice water. Temperature in the Arctic average below zero in the winter about 35 degrees in the summer. The Arctic receives approximately 100 inches of precipitation a year, mostly snowfall. While winter in Arctic is so long, lasting eight or nine months, but summer is relatively short, lasting on two. There is no real fall or spring.

The Antartica's weather
Antartica is the coldest, windiest and the driest continent on Earth. The average annual temperature ranges from about 10 degrees on the Antarctic coast to 60 degrees at the highest parts of the interior.

Is there much water available?
Certainly because there are so many ice that melts down in a certain amount of time.

The animals that live in Antartica live there because there are some very important things there that they need, like...
1. Lots of water everywhere so they can hunt fish
2. Ice
3. Other animals of the same species
4. And finally that habitat is perfect for them

Would it be easy for humans to explore the ecosystem?
For us humans to explore the Arctics ecosystem is not quite easy because some part of the Arctic is extremely cold for us to go down beneath the Arctic.

Could there be animals living in the Arctic ecosystem?
I think there might be animals that are in the Arctic ecosystem that wasn't yet been discovered because the Arctic is too cold for us to discover most of the thing.
