Antarctica

All of Australia and (practically) all of Antarctica (except for the infinitesimal point corresponding to the South Pole itself) are between the Equator and the South Pole. Most of South America and a significant part of Africa are also in this region.

According to its Wikipedia entry in the Climate section, you can find these warm temperature averages for each month, beginning with January given in F and (C) degrees:

"−29.0 (−20.2)

"−39.4 (−38.9)

"−52.9 (−63.2)

"−61.3 (−78.3)

"−59.2 (−74.6)

"−59.3 (−74.7)

"−56.7 (−70.1)

"−60.6 (−77.1)

"−57.5 (−71.5)

"−54.7 (−66.5)

"−38.8 (−37.8)

"−28.0 (−18.4)

"−49.8 (−57.6)"

This means that the warmest average temperature is about -39.4 degrees F (-38.9 degrees C).

Fossils in Antarctica can provide information on past climatic conditions by indicating the types of plants and animals that lived in the region. For example, the presence of fossils from species that typically thrive in warmer climates may suggest that Antarctica was once much warmer than it is today. Similarly, evidence of glacial deposits in fossil records can indicate periods of ice growth and retreat, providing insights into past climatic fluctuations in the region.

Katabatic winds are downslope winds that flow from high elevation to low elevation due to cooling of air that becomes denser and heavier. Anabatic winds, on the other hand, are upslope winds that flow from low elevation to high elevation due to heating of air that becomes lighter and rises. Both types of winds are influenced by local topography and can be significant in mountainous regions.

There are three reasons; Antarctica wasn't at the south pole in the early Jurassic and during the Cretaceous, there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which pushed up temperatures so that dinosaurs were able to survive. Finally, some dinosaurs were believed to be warm blooded and have feathers which are adaptations to survive colder temperatures - birds, particularly penguins, live at the south pole today and there is strong evidence that modern birds have evolved from dinosaurs.

Arctica was an ancient continent which formed approximately 2.5 billion years ago in the Neoarchean era. It consisted of the Canadian and Siberian shields, and is now roughly situated in the Arctic around the current North Pole. Arctica joined with the continents Atlantica and Nena about one billion years ago to form the supercontinent, Rodinia.

Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas

Your answer depends on the 'stuff' and where in Antarctica you propose to send it. Every research station has mail service delivered by the government funding the station. That nation's postal service may define the 'stuff' limits that you can send to your correspondent on the continent.

The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by floating sea ice with no land underneath. In contrast, the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, which is a landmass covered by ice sheets.

Antarctic snow can vary in depth, with some areas having several meters of snow accumulation. In the interior regions of Antarctica, snow depth can reach over 4 meters due to continuous snowfall and limited melting. However, coastal areas may have shallower snow cover due to wind erosion and sublimation.

The Big Dipper is not visible from Antarctica. As a person goes south of the equator, the stars in the northern hemisphere drop from view. When one crosses the equator, Polaris drops from sight. As one continues from sight Ursula Major and Cassiopeia vanish. There goes the Big dipper.

The coldest and most desolated region on earth is Antarctica. It is the coldest continent with temperatures dropping below -80°C (-112°F) and vast uninhabited areas covered by ice sheets and glaciers. The interior of Antarctica is considered one of the most desolate places on the planet due to its extreme cold, isolation, and harsh conditions.

Hot or cold there will always be a north magnetic and a north geographic pole on Earth. The environment in these areas may change through the warming processes of global climate change as well as ice cover and sea level but the poles will remain.

Antarctica is the continent located at the South Pole and is sparsely populated, with only a few thousand researchers and support staff living there temporarily. The harsh climate and remote location make it unsuitable for permanent human habitation.

Antarctica is a continent and continents do not melt.

The ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent thaws and freezes annually. Extraordinary thawing is currently taking place under the ice shelves -- primarily in the Weddell Sea -- based on warming ocean waters which cause the ice shelf to decay.

Technically yes, on the peninsula jutting out of the continent rain is relatively common, happening on a yearly basis. However, anywhere more than several miles inland nearly never sees rain, and the actual magnetic south pole has never seen rain.

500 billion years ago, planet Earth didn't exist. The Universe didn't even exist for such a long time; the age of the Universe is estimated at about 14 billion years.

Yes, ice cream can melt in Antarctica if exposed to high enough temperatures, such as inside a warm building. While the outside temperature is extremely cold in Antarctica, indoor temperatures are typically kept above freezing to prevent water pipes from freezing.

Mount Terror is a stratovolcano, which is a tall, conical volcano composed of layers of hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash. It is located in Antarctica and is part of the active volcano chain known as the Terror Rift.

Continental glaciers form when snow accumulates over time in areas where the rate of snowfall exceeds melting. In Antarctica and Greenland, the extremely cold temperatures and high snowfall rates result in the continuous accumulation of snow over centuries, gradually forming thick ice sheets that cover the landmasses. The weight of the accumulated ice causes the ice to flow outward, forming continental glaciers that cover much of Antarctica and Greenland.

Well, since the North Pole is located at the "top" of the world, the South Pole is located at the bottom. A continent that is on the bottom is . . .

Antarctica!

Hope that helps! :)

The North Pole is significantly warmer than the South Pole because it lies at sea level with winter temps in January ranging from −43° C(−45° F) to −26° C(−15° F) and averaging around −34° C(−29° F), while summer temps average around the freezing point(0° C, 32° F).

The Continental Divide of Antarctica is a geographical feature that separates the ice flowing towards the Weddell Sea and the ice flowing towards the Ross Sea. It marks the boundary between the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Hypothermia is a human state that occurs when body temperature slips below normal. Since Antarctica is a polar continent -- the coldest on earth -- developing hypothermia is possible each time a human ventures out of doors or finds himself or herself without supplemental forms of heat.
