Explanation:

The subpolar region has seasonal changes. In winter, sea ice forms due to cold temperatures. In summer, the ice melts, leaving open (but still cold) water. Polar regions usually have year - round ice. Subtropical, tropical, and temperate regions do not have significant sea - ice coverage in winter in the context of oceanic climate regions as described.

Answer:

subpolar.
