North Pole

Robert E. Peary and Matthew Henson claimed to have discovered the North Pole on April 6, 1909. They were part of an expedition that reached the northernmost point on Earth. However, there is ongoing debate about whether they were the first ones to reach the actual North Pole.

You would need to take your daily living needs. This leads to a complex set of maths, starting with,

1, Which way are you travelling to the pole, walking, skiing, snowmobile etc.

2, How long is it going to take you to get there and back.

3, How many days emergency rations should you carry.

Now going back to 1, if you are going to walk or ski, you will be burning more calories than sitting on a snowmobile, so you would have to increase your calorie intake, this means carrying more food. More fuel to cook it and to melt ice for water.

If it is going to take you 30 days to get there, don't forget it will probably take you 30 days to get back.

Bad weather, say you are stuck in your tent for five days by bad weather, you are using fuel and food and getting nowhere, so this is where your emergency rations are helpful.

So you can see planning an Arctic or Antarctic expedition is a very complex job, you have to carry everything you think you would need and balance this against the weight you are pulling/carrying.

Don't forget there are no shops there, so anything you have forgotten or run out of, that is it, you will have to do without. Saying that, the way things are going, it probably will not be long before you see a Tesco or Wal-Mart at the South Pole.

A great circle passing through the north and south poles is called a meridian, also called a longitude. The meridian that passes through Greenwich England is called the Prime Meridian and is where time zones and each new day begin.

The region north of the Arctic Circle is within the Arctic Circle region, which is part of the frigid zone. This area experiences extreme cold temperatures and is characterized by polar conditions with long periods of darkness in winter and continuous daylight in summer.

Ocean water is generally less salty near the North and South Poles due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the salinity. Additionally, cold temperatures limit the evaporation of water, which contributes to lower salinity levels in polar oceans.

Yes, the Roman Empire extended further north than France, into regions such as modern-day England, Germany, and parts of the Netherlands. The Roman Empire reached its furthest northern expansion along the Rhine and Danube rivers before eventually contracting.

With the exception of the sun and moon, nothing in the sky rises or sets. Everything in the sky

moves in a circle, with the center of every circle located at the point directly over your head.

The moon rises and sets once a month, and the sun rises and sets once a year.

The Arctic Circle 66.5° North.

The North Pole 90° North.

The Antarctic Circle 66.5° South

The South Pole 90° South.

If you are standing on the magnetic north pole, the needle will want to point down.

If you are standing on the geographical North Pole, the needle will point South. From the North Pole, every direction is "South"!

The South Pole experiences two main seasons: summer and winter. Summer occurs from October to February, with temperatures around freezing and 24 hours of daylight. Winter lasts from March to September, with temperatures dropping to extreme lows and 24 hours of darkness.

The thickest ice sheet in the Laurentide Ice Sheet was centered over northern Canada, particularly in regions like Quebec and the Hudson Bay area. This region experienced the greatest ice accumulation during the peak of the last glacial period.

The bane of Arctic explorers for years. It is the movement of the Arctic Ice Sheet that is caused by wind and currents below the ices surface. The speed of this drift can vary quite dramatically.

In April, the sun appears to move northward in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere as it approaches the summer solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun moves southward as it approaches the winter solstice.

the first 2 men on the north pole were Matthew Henson and Robert perry. but the first man to step foot on the north pole was Matthew Henson, he was 45minutes ahead of Robert perry meaning he stepped on the north pole 45minutes before Robert perry did. an amazing fact HUH?

The evidence for Earth's magnetic pole reversals comes from the Geological record. If you look at the fossil polarity of a section of sea floor taken across and to either side of a mid oceanic ridge, there is a mirror pattern of stripes where the rocks have reversed polar directions.

Similarly the poles of the Sun reverse every 11 years as the sun goes through a maxima and minima.

Some of the major California cities located at approximately 31 degrees north latitude include San Diego, Palm Springs, and Bakersfield. This latitude runs through the southern region of the state, encompassing a variety of climates and landscapes.

Of course . You can make such a magnet easily using a safety pin. Take a safety pin and magnetize it using a permanent magnet. Then unfold it. The ends will have same poles and at the middle you will have the other. So you can have a magnet with three poles. Verify it using compass.

0 degrees north is the north pole and zero degrees south is the south pole.

Yes, that is true. Parts of Chile and Argentina lie between the latitude lines of thirty degrees south and forty-five degrees south in the Southern Hemisphere. These regions include popular destinations such as Santiago in Chile and Bariloche in Argentina.

In the North Pole, winter occurs from late September to late March. In the South Pole, winter takes place from late March to late September. Both poles experience continuous darkness during winter due to their axial tilt away from the sun.

Matthew Henson, followed by four Eskimos pulling Robert Peary on a sled (his feet were frostbitten.) Henson out ran them all, becoming the first man in the world to reach the North Pole. Peary handed him the American Flag, which he planted at the site, in the snow.

Nothing. There is no 175 degrees north. The northern hemisphere starts at the equator and progresses to the north pole. At the equator, the latitude is zero degrees north, and at the north pole the latitude is 90 degrees north. Latitude cannot exceed 90 degrees.

The North and South Poles of Earth are colder because they get the least amount of sun. In some seasons they don't hardly receive any sunlight. The equator gets the most sunlight, which is the tropics. In between the tropics and the poles is the temperate zone where we have 4 different seasons that usually involves snow.
