The circumference of the pole sticking out of the ice to make this spot is about 30 cm. The circumference or coastline of the land mass of Antarctica, the continent upon which this pole, is about 18,000 km.
No, the distance around the equator is greater than the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is roughly 40,075 kilometers, while the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole (along the meridian) is about 20,009 kilometers.
All meridians of longitude join the Earth's north and south pole, so the length of every meridian is 1/2 of the Earth's polar circumference.
The planet Earth is not a perfect sphere and the length from pole to pole is slightly shorter than the distance at the Equator. The east-west distance around the Earth at the Equator (its circumference) is 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles. The circumference taken pole-to-pole (north-south distance) would be 40,008 km / 24,860 miles.This is due to the gravitational pull of Sun, which causes the Earth to be slightly squashed from North-South and stretched from E-W.

4000km,40,700km ... ur welcome.
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,902 miles. From pole to pole is 24,860 miles.
Lattitude lines appear as concentric circles when viewed from above a pole (North Pole or South Pole). So as you approach a Pole, the circumference of the latitude line decreases.
7,900 miles
You probably mean our Earth. The diameter d of Earth from North Pole to South Pole is 12,713.54 kilometers (7,899.83 miles), but through the equator it is 12,756.32 kilometers (7,926.41 miles). This difference, 42.78 kilometers (26.58 miles), is only 1/298 the diameter of Earth. Thus the Earth is 42.78 kilometers or 25 miles wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This is only 0.3 percent, too small to be seen visually. To calculate the circumference C use the formula: C = pi times d. pi = 3.141592654...

measure the circumference of you pole
Circumference at equator : 24,901.55 miles. (40075.16 km) Circumference pole to pole : 24,859.82 miles (40008 km)
The circumference of the Earth is approximately 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers) when measured around the equator (East-West direction). In contrast, the circumference measured from pole to pole (North-South direction) is about 24,860 miles (40,008 kilometers). This slight difference is due to the Earth's oblate spheroid shape, which causes it to be slightly flattened at the poles.
