Maybe I'll direct this question to you then.

We speak of the north, and we speak about the Arctic. How would you compare the two distinct regions? Are there distinct regions or are they one and the same? Maybe you could just clarify the distinction between the two terms, because oftentimes we just call the north “the north”, but should we refer to it as the Arctic?
