polar
Like magnetic extremes
Polar describes things relating to or near the Earth's poles—the Arctic and Antarctic regions: polar ice caps, polar bears.
In science, polar refers to molecules with uneven electrical charge distribution, or to opposites: polar opposites are as far apart as possible on any spectrum.
A polar vortex is an extremely cold weather pattern originating near the poles.
