Ice at the North Pole is melting faster than that at the South Pole. The North Pole sits on a sheet of floating ice, and the Arctic ice-cap has been monitored for continued shrinking over at least the last five decades. According to data obtained from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), following the northern hemisphere summer of 2007, the Arctic ice cap was 40 percent smaller than the 7.23 million square kilometres recorded in 1979-2000.
The South Pole experiences some melting of the ice, but it sits amid a huge mass of ice on the land mass known as Antarctica. The famous "hole in the ozone layer" is over the Antarctic, but scientists are still debating how much effect this hole actually has on the ice melting. According to the report at the related link below, Antarctica (and by association, the South Pole) is more likely to heat up as the ozone hole repairs itself.

Which pole, the North Pole or the South Pole, experiences colder temperatures?

If the north and south poles melt why does it matter to us?
The melting of the north and south poles can lead to rising sea levels, which can result in coastal flooding, loss of habitat for wildlife, and displacement of communities. It can also disrupt weather patterns and contribute to global climate change. Addressing the melting poles is important for protecting ecosystems and minimizing the impacts of climate change on human societies.

What are the characteristics of the north and south poles of both a magnet and the earth?
The North pole of a magnet or Earth attracts the South pole, while repelling the North pole. The South pole attracts the North pole and repels the South pole. For Earth, the North magnetic pole is located near the geographic North pole, and the South magnetic pole is near the geographic South pole.
How is 90 north latitude different from 90 south latitude?
90 degrees north latitude is the definition of the Earth's North Pole which is ice flows that are melting. 90 degrees south latitude is the definition of the Earth's South Pole which is a continent. One is the North Pole, the other is the South Pole. They're a little more than 12,000 miles apart.
