Very far north or south (5)

I believe the answer is:

polar

(Other definitions for polar that I've seen before include "Relating to Earth's coldest regions" , "Relating to the cold areas of earth" , "Of the cold regions" , "From one end of the Earth or the other" , "Relating to the Arctic or Antarctic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
