Best Answer

High.

From Wikipedia:

"[The South Pole] sits atop a featureless, windswept, icy plateau at an altitude of 2,835 meters (9,306 ft), about 1,300 km (800 mi) from the nearest open sea at the Bay of Whales. The ice is estimated to be about 2,700 meters (9,000 ft) thick at the Pole, so the land surface under the ice sheet is actually near [or lower] than sea level."

Cold Regions such as the Polar Regions tend toward low pressure, Tropical regions tend toward high pressure since warm air expands.
