70 degrees S and 75 degrees E
The latitude is approximately 10 degrees North (it can vary a few degrees in certain areas). Latitude is 0-359 degrees (the earth is round after all). I meant longitude for 0-359 degrees.
The South Pole sits on Antarctica's ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent. The Ross Ice Shelf may be the closest to the South Pole, even though it is securely attached to the ice sheet and its connecting boundary is imprecise.
The Ross Ice Shelf is located in Antarctica. It is the largest ice shelf in Antarctica and is about the size of France.
The seaward side of the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf is divided into Eastern (Filchner) 79°00′S 40°00′W and the larger Western (Ronne) 78°30′S 61°00′W sections by Berkner Island. The whole ice shelf covers some 430,000 km², making it the second largest ice shelf in Antarctica, after the Ross Ice Shelf.
Lots of snow and ice. That point is on the Antarctic continent, only about 690 miles from the south pole.
The Amery Ice Shelf
The Amery Ice Shelf
Antarctica near the Mawson coast
That location is one point on the Ross Ice Shelf ... an area of over 182,000 square miles,and every point on it has different latitude and longitude coordinates.
You may be thinking of the Ross Ice Shelf, and the Larson Ice Shelves.Other major ice shelves are named Ekstrom, Amery, West, Shackleton and Voyeykov.
You can pick any two you want. From the Wikipedia entry: here is a list of the ice shelves, listed clockwise, starting in the West of East Antarctica. An ice sheet is included in the list: "Filchner Ice Shelf "Brunt Ice Shelf "Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf "Quar Ice Shelf "Ekstrom Ice Shelf "Jelbart Ice Shelf "Fimbul Ice Shelf "Lazarev Ice Shelf "King Baudouin Ice Shelf "Hannan Ice Shelf "Zubchatyy Ice Shelf "Wyers Ice Shelf "Edward VIII Ice Shelf "Amery Ice Shelf "Publications Ice Shelf "West Ice Shelf "Shackleton Ice Shelf "Moscow University Ice Shelf "Voyeykov Ice Shelf "Cook Ice Shelf "Slava Ice Shelf "Gillett Ice Shelf "Nansen Ice Sheet "McMurdo Ice Shelf "Ross Ice Shelf "Swinburne Ice Shelf "Sulzberger Ice Shelf "Nickerson Ice Shelf "Getz Ice Shelf "Dotson Ice Shelf "Crosson Ice Shelf "Cosgrove Ice Shelf "Abbot Ice Shelf "Venable Ice Shelf "Stange Ice Shelf "Bach Ice Shelf "George VI Ice Shelf "Wilkins Ice Shelf "Wordie Ice Shelf "Jones Ice Shelf "Müller Ice Shelf "Prince Gustav Ice Shelf "Larsen Ice Shelf (Larsen A and B) "Ronne Ice Shelf"
The Lambert Glacier in East Antarctica, is the longest glacier in Antarctica and the world. It is about 40 km wide and about 400 km long. It drains nearly 8% of the Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Amery Ice Shelf.
The latitude is approximately 10 degrees North (it can vary a few degrees in certain areas). Latitude is 0-359 degrees (the earth is round after all). I meant longitude for 0-359 degrees.
"90° north latitude" ... regardless of longitude ... is the north Pole. Except for some pack ice, there's no significant island there.
the Ross ice shelf
an ice shelf is a shelf of ice, which is floating on the water. There are several large ice shelves around Antarctica.
