Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.

Which arctic flying hazard is caused when a cloud layer of uniform thickness overflies a snow or ice covered surface?
This hazard is called "whiteout." Whiteout occurs when the cloud layer reflects sunlight off the snow or ice, creating a uniform white appearance that obscures the horizon, making it difficult for pilots to differentiate between the surface and the sky, causing disorientation and reducing visibility.

What are the Difference between Arctic and Antarctic regions?
The Arctic region is located around the North Pole and is an ocean covered by sea ice surrounded by land masses, while the Antarctic region is located around the South Pole and is a continent covered by ice. The Arctic has a polar ice cap that floats on the Arctic Ocean, whereas the Antarctic has a high plateau of ice and snow that covers the continent. Additionally, the Arctic is inhabited by polar bears, while the Antarctic is home to penguins.
