Lands halfway between the equator and the South Pole include Australia, Africa and South America. Australia is the most "halfway" because it does not cross the equator, unlike the other two continents.

There are two major lines between the Equator and the South Pole. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the southern Winter Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Antarctic Frigid Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.

Is the Equator closer to the South Pole or the Arctic Circle?

The equator is the line that runs straight around the middle of the earth, at zero degrees of latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south, so they are both equidistant from the equator. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude that runs around the earth at 66 degrees and 33 minutes north, that means that it is closer to the equator than the South Pole.
