Lots of snow and ice. That point is on the Antarctic continent,
only about 690 miles from the south pole.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Lines of latitude are imaginery lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator and tell you how many degrees north or south of the equator you are. The equator being zero degrees, the North Pole being 90 degrees North Latitude, the South Pole being 90 degrees South Latitude. Lines of longitude are imaginery lines that run from the north pole to the south pole and tell you how many degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian you are. The Prime Meridian is based on Greenwich, England. An easy way to rember is that the latitude lines are like the steps on a ladder, and the longitude lines are very long.
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
