Short summary
This research contains the views of gifted students who do not live in the polar regions (PRs) and are unaware of events in these regions and their effects. It is thought that students who are knowledgeable about PRs may be more sensitive towards these areas. For this reason, the students' level of knowledge about remote regions and their sources of information have been examined.
