The Polar zones, although they are on opposite
ends of the Earth, are the same in a lot of ways. On this map both the
Arctic and Antarctic Circles are purple, but they don’t have to be! To
personalize this map, print it out and shade in the polar, temperate, and
tropical zones in the colors you choose. Don’t forget to create a color-coded
key to go with your map.
