Except it's nothing to do with that and comes from the Arctic being marked by Ursa Minor & Major in the Northern sky, and Antarctica being the opposite of that.

So there's no sky bears in Antarctica then?

We have enough with the interdimensional bears. You cant take a shit in piece in here.

Sure but it's also convenient that there are also no bears in Antarctica or as it shouldve been named Terra Australus but the Australian got that, really should've flipped the names when we had the chance.
