Southern polar region (9)

I believe the answer is:

antarctic

(Other definitions for antarctic that I've seen before include "Relating to south polar region" , "Relating to S. Pole region" , "Relating to southern polar region" , "Relating to the southern polar area" , "Region around the south pole" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
