From the Arctic or Antarctic (5)
I believe the answer is:
polar
This clue is a double definition.
'from the arctic' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'antarctic' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for polar that I've seen before include "Extremely cold region" , "Relating to icy regions" , "Kind of bear or opposite" , "Of the highest latitude" , "Relating to the cold areas of earth" .)
