When the sun reaches either of the equinoxes,
on March 21 and September 21 or 22.
The South Pole at 90°south. From that position it is only possible for you to travel northward, making it the farthest point south.

The southernmost point on Earth is the south pole. The northernmost point on Earth is the north pole. There is no east or west pole.
The South Pole is the farthest point south.
The farthest point north on the Earth is the North Pole. The farthest point south on the Earth is the South Pole.
Subsolar PointBy definition, the subsolar point is the point on the Earth's surface at which the Sun is at its highest (or lowest) latitude at local solar noon. The Subsolar point changes continually as the Earth rotates and seasonally moving from 23.5 degrees South to 23.5 degrees North (the solstices) and back throughout the year. To the extent that the subsolar point is directly beneath the sun (i.e., when the sun's rays are exactly perpendicular to the Earth's surface), it would also be true that the closest point on Earth to the sun at that particular point in time would be the subsolar point.
The South Pole at 90°south. From that position it is only possible for you to travel northward, making it the farthest point south.
The Subsolar Point is the shortest distance between the Earth and Sun. The distance constantly changes, because of orbits, drifts, shifts, tilts, etc. However, by definition, the subsolar point is the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is at its highest (or lowest) latitude at local solar noon. Subsolar points change daily moving from 23.5° South to 23.5° North (the solstices) and back throughout the year. To the extent that the subsolar point is directly beneath the sun (i.e., when the sun's rays are exactly perpendicular to the Earth's surface), it would also be true that the closest point on Earth to the sun at that particular point in time would be the subsolar point. NOTE: The shortest distance between two bodies forms a perpendicular line between the closest parallel planes of both bodies. Subsolar point is the term used to identify the point on a planet which is closest to the sun at any given moment.
The South Pole is the farthest point from the North Pole.
