Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than its northern polar counterparts. Alaska is not as far north as Antarctica is south, so it is clearly much warmer than Antarctica.
No, Alaska is not close to Antarctica. Alaska is located in the northern hemisphere, while Antarctica is located in the southern hemisphere. The two regions are separated by thousands of miles and several other countries.
Alaska and Antarctica are on opposite ends of the Earth. Alaska is in the northern hemisphere near the Arctic Circle, while Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere near the South Pole. They are on opposite sides of the planet and not geographically close to each other.
No, the only continental glaciers are in Greenland and Antarctica.
It is generally warmer inland in Antarctica compared to the coast. This is because the coast is influenced by the cold waters of the Southern Ocean, which can keep temperatures lower than those further inland where the cold air is not moderated by the ocean.
Since all of the continents once were formed as one big land mass, the temperature could have been warmer when Antarctica was closer to the equator.
Antarctica's beaches are warmer than the interior of the continent.
Warmer
No. Alaska is considered part of the Arctic in the northern hemisphere. Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere.
It is generally warmer in California than in Alaska because California is much closer to the equator than is Alaska.
Generally warmer.
arctic
penguins are warmer in Antarctica because they have extra fat (blubber) so in winter they huddle together to be even warmer.
Yes.
No, Alaska is the northern-most state of the United States; Antarctica is a continent in the southern hemisphere governed by the Antarctic Treaty.
No, Alaska is not close to Antarctica. Alaska is located in the northern hemisphere, while Antarctica is located in the southern hemisphere. The two regions are separated by thousands of miles and several other countries.
Antarctica is colder than Alaska
Most of Alaska gets much more snow than most of Antarctica.
