Ways to tell them apart:
- The word arctic contains two cs, just like the cold ice caps are twice as cold!
- Think of arctic as having a "t" ice cap on either end — one on top and the other below.
- Remember that arctic is associated with cold climates, so it's easier to remember if you associate it with the icy North Pole.
