Is the bedrock at the South Pole at or below sea level?

No, the bedrock at the South Pole is not at or below sea level. The South Pole sits on the Antarctic Plateau, which is a high, flat, and elevated region with an average height of 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level. The bedrock beneath the ice is also above sea level.

How thick are the South Pole's ice sheets?

At the South Pole, the ice is more than 9,300 feet thick. Since not all of the ice that covers Antarctica has been measured, it's difficult to say what other thicknesses there may be. There is another example, however: Lake Vostok. The elevation of the ice at Vostok Station is 11,444 feet above sea level and the surface of the sub-glacial lake is -1,640 feet. This is thicker than the ice at the South Pole.


What is scarce in the South Pole?

Air is rare at 9,300 feet above sea level; for six months of the year, there is no sun. Everything at pole arrives there via extreme logistics paid for by the United States of America.


What is your location if the South celestial pole appears on your meridian at an altitude of 30 degrees in the south?

If there were a way to see the south celestial pole, and it was 40 degrees above the horizon, then you would be somewhere along the line of 40 degrees south latitude. Unfortunately, there is no star at or near the south celestial pole, so there is no way for you to see the south celestial pole and observe its elevation.
