Antarctica has a land mass of 14,000,000 sq km and is covered in a permanent ice cap up to several kilometres thick. North Pole is a polar ice cap floating on the Arctic Ocean, there is no land under it.

List the continents below the Tropic of Cancer?
Antarctica is the only continent completely in the southern hemisphere that doesn't touch the Tropic of Capricorn. Oceania is also completely in the southern hemisphere, but it does reach the Tropic of Capricorn, although parts of it are just in the southern hemisphere. Antarctica is the only continent that reaches the Antarctic Circle, and the South Pole is part of Antarctica, but yet Antarctica is so big that it even goes out of the Antarctic Circle which means Northern Sweden is closer to the North Pole than Northern Antarctica is the South Pole.
Where is the South Pole?
Your challenge is the find the part of the map that includes the poles. Often these are insets, and in an atlas may be separate pages. Rarely do flat maps cover the full 180 degrees of longitude that represent the reality of pole-to-pole coverage. This is probably because there are too few customers for mapped areas in the high latitudes.
Is the north pole gone?
no not yet, but by summer 2020, this the the scientific date that it will disappear.========================Answer #2:Relax. The north pole will not disappear. It's an imaginary place anyway, sothere's nothing that will hurt it. The ICE there may be melted by 2020, buttrust me, the north pole shall endure.
Why do poles not melt?
The North Pole and the South Pole are just places. They have a lot of ice, and the ice is melting, faster in some places than in others. So the Polar Regions do melt, but they haven't completely melted yet.
True North and Magnetic North are the same true or false?
No. True north is the direction of earth's pole, 90 degrees north latitude. The pole is the axis upon which earth rotates. Magnetic north is the magnetic pole generated by the vast reservoirs of metal within the body of the earth. Magnetic north moves a little because the earth is very geologically active.
What country have a polar ice cap?
Polar ice caps are high latitude regions that are covered in ice. Since for ice to form there has to be specific temperature ranges polar ice caps form only in very cold environments such as the North Pole (over water only), Greenland and Antarctica.

What ocean surrounds south pole?
The Southern Ocean surrounds the Antarctic continent, about 750 miles north of the South Pole.
Does every coninent have an endangered species?
Most likely all but Antarctica, as there has yet to be significant human impact on the continent.
What are the differences between the North and South Poles?
Differences between the North and South PolesPolar bears live only in the Arctic (though this is not actually the North Pole), and penguins live only in the Antarctic (though this is not actually the South Pole).The North Pole lies on a floating ice sheet, not a land mass, amidst the Arctic Ocean. The South Pole sits on the landmass known as the continent of Antarctica.The Antarctic contains about 90% of the world's store of ice and about 70% of the world's fresh water, locked up in ice.The Antarctic is colder than the Arctic, by about 30 degrees F.Over 4 million people live within the Arctic, yet no-one can actually live at the North Pole itself. No-one owns the Antarctic and the permanent population of the Antarctic Circle is nil, but Antarctica has numerous scientific research stations.The Arctic Circle has a large amount of the world's untapped oil reserves, and many nations are vying to drill there. It is believed there are large petroleum reserves at the Antarctic, but the Antarctic Treaty prohibits oil drilling.There is a hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic and the South Pole. Although there is thinning of the ozone layer over the North Pole, there is not actually a hole ... yet.Because the North Pole is an ice sheet, it is more sensitive to climate changes than the South Pole and the Antarctic. The North Pole ice sheet is decreasing in size every year.There is a North Star at the North Pole but no South Star at the South Pole, but the Southern Cross is in the Southern Hemisphere of stars.There are no volcanoes at the North Pole (there can't be because there is no land) whilst there are volcanoes on Antarctica.
Is Antarctica a state a country or a continent?
All land, ice and water south of 60 degrees S on planet Earth is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. This is a condominium form of governance. The treaty preserves all of this geography for the scientific study of the health of our planet. This means that no one 'owns' any part of Antarctica, yet it benefits us all.
Are there yeti's in the Antarctica?
Research conducted on the continent hasn't focused on a search for Yeti, and no investigation has discovered any trace, even accidentally...yet.
Is the ozone layer opening?
No at the moment. The ozone hole at the south pole has formed and is closing. The hole at the north pole probably has not started forming yet.
A man was born on December 20 yet his birthday always in the summer?
Type your answer here... i think that person may be living in north pole thats why the birthday in december would be summer in north pole.

Why did Captain Nemo go to South Pole?
To the best of my knowledge this does not occur in the novel or either of the two different films about Captain Nemo- including Captain Nemo and the Underwater City, as the ship who was wrecked was en route to Australia, as I recall his base of operations must have been in Pacific oceania.
