Regions defined by polar geography rather than continental membership: the Arctic, a circumpolar area spanning parts of several M49 continents that the UN geoscheme itself does not classify as a region because it covers ocean and ice rather than sovereign territory. Belongs here: a supra-national grouping whose defining feature is its polar or circumpolar position. Does not belong here: a single country with Arctic or Antarctic territory, which stays under country, or a specific landform such as an ice sheet, held under landform.
