Word with bear or vortex (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polar

(Other definitions for polar that I've seen before include "Regions at the top and bottom of the world" , "Of the frozen regions" , "Of the far north or south" , "Regions within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles" , "Arctic and Antarctic regions, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
