GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -An ice cap climate is a polar climate where no mean monthly temperature exceeds 0 °C (32 °F). The climate covers areas in or near the high latitudes (65° latitude) to polar regions (70–90° north and south latitude), such as Antarctica, some of the northernmost islands of Canada and Russia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because the angle of radiation varies depending on the latitude, surface temperatures on average are warmer at lower latitudes and cooler at higher latitudes (even though higher latitudes have more hours of daylight during the summer months).

Detailed explanation-3: -27. And as you should expect, on an annual basis the high latitudes (60 to 90 degrees N/S) are the coldest. Consider: during the cooler late fall, winter and early spring months we have little or no Sun angle (insolation) and thus little or no daylight (time) for these roughly six months.
