The Antarctic Ice Sheet consists of about 13.72 million sq km of permanent ice representing 90% of the world's ice.
According to Wikipedia, at the South Pole -- 90 degrees South Latitude, the ice is 9,301 feet thick -- that is, above sea level.
No. The South Pole sits on nearly two-miles thick of ice. Any cave on the polar plateau would be a deadly crevasse.
Ice caves are found on Antarctica's beaches, which are crevasses that open at the bottom as the ice sheet toungues into the Southern Ocean to form icebergs.
The greatest ever measured thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet is more than 4,770 meters!
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
The North Pole, which sits on the Arctic Ocean ice, is warmer by about 30 degrees F than the South Pole, which sits on an ice sheet that stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
You can find the South Pole on the continent of Antarctica, 98% of which is covered with an ice sheet. This leaves two percent of the continental land that is not covered with ice.
No. The South Pole sits on more than 9,300 feet of ice. There is no botany there.

The North Pole, which sits on the Arctic Ocean ice, is warmer by about 30 degrees F than the South Pole, which sits on an ice sheet that stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
The frozen water at the South Pole is fresh water ice.
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)
They are both at separate ends of the world. The South Pole is land covered in ice and snow. The North Pole is thick ice sheets floating on the sea.

You can locate the North Pole on the Arctic Ocean sea ice.

Ice is one form of frozen water at the South Pole.
The South Pole is on the continent of Antarctica. Antarctica is an ice-covered landmass, with mountains..
