- Polar ecology - Polar ecology is the study of the interactions between organisms living in the Polar regions of the Earth, both in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

- Polar ice packs - Polar ice packs are large areas of pack ice formed from seawater in the Earth's polar regions, known as polar ice caps: the Arctic ice pack (or Arctic ice cap) of the Arctic Ocean and the Antarctic ice pack of the Southern Ocean, fringing the Antarctic ice sheet. Polar packs significantly change their size during seasonal changes of the year.
- Polar Research (journal) - Polar Research is a journal of the Norwegian Polar Institute, Norway's central institution for research, on the polar regions. The journal publishes chiefly research papers although, review articles, brief research notes and book reviews are also included along with biographical notes and special issues.
- Polar exploration - Polar exploration is the physical exploration of the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the Earth. It is also denotes the historical period during which mankind most intensely explored the regions north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle.
