South Pole

There isn't much difference between the terms when the they are applied to maps. When an x-y co-ordinate system is overlaid onto a map with the x axis on the equator, the north latitudes, those lines parallel to the equator and which are drawn around the globe above it, or north of it, can be called northings instead of north latitudes. Got a link posted.

It was Roald Amundsen who set out from the Bay of Whales and used dog teams for the entire journey, unlike Scott who man-hauled his sledges and who had only four sets of skis for five men, starting from McMurdo Sound and taking the extremely difficult route up the Beardmore Glacier.

I recommend the book "The Worst Journey in the World" for a very moving account of the Scott expedition. It was written by the man who found the bodies of Scott, Wilson and Bowers.

At the poles, the idea of longitude is essentially meaningless. Take a few steps either way; your longitude will depend on which way you walked. Of course, from the pole itself every direction is "South", which makes navigation a little challenging.....

No, the South Pole experiences a period of complete darkness during its winter months, including on June 21st. This is due to its location within the Antarctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon for several months during the austral winter.

Polar bears are not found in the South Pole; they are typically found in the Arctic regions. The South Pole is uninhabitable for polar bears due to the lack of ice, their primary habitat for hunting and survival.

The movement of the South Magnetic Pole is mainly due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the flow of molten iron in the outer core. These changes can be influenced by various factors, such as shifts in the distribution of mass within the Earth, the Sun's activity, and interactions with other magnetic fields.

The rotation of the Earth creates the Coriolis effect, which causes wind to be deflected as it moves from the poles toward the equator. This deflection helps to steer the wind into prevailing global wind patterns such as the westerlies and the trade winds, rather than blowing directly from pole to pole.

The imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic from the North Pole to the South Pole is called the Prime Meridian. It is the 0-degree longitude line from which all other longitudes are measured.

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. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude.

The North Pole is generally colder than the South Pole. This is because the Arctic Ocean at the North Pole can release heat more easily than the landmass of Antarctica at the South Pole, which helps to moderate temperatures in the southern hemisphere.

Around the South Pole is the continent of Antarctica. Antarctica is a frozen, largely uninhabited landmass covered by ice and snow. It is known for its extreme cold temperatures and unique wildlife, such as penguins and seals.

Yes. Most sharks are found in warm seas.

The farthest point south on Earth is the geographic South Pole. Its latitude is 90 degrees south.

I take it you are asking about airplane landings.

On Oct. 31, 1956, a U.S. Navy R4D airplane that had been christened Que Sera Sera, and piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Conrad C. 'Gus' Shinn, landed at the South Pole, becoming the first to land there.

The frigid zones experience six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This tilt causes the angle of sunlight to vary throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of polar day and polar night at high latitudes. During polar day, the sun never sets, while during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period.

Chile stretches from about 18° south latitude to 53° south longitude. Chile is a long and narrow country located on the western edge of South America, bordered by the Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.

I have never heard of this. Explorers use vehicles such as snowmobiles, Aircraft, ships, etc. All kinds of specialized camping-type and survival gear ( electronic positon finders, some specially adapted to either arctic or antarctic geopositioning)- but I have never heard this green vegetable arguments. On the other hand exploration diaries do not normally include menus!

You can use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation. Let x be the distance from the tip of the shadow to the base of the pole and the height of the pole be y. Then, tan(60 degrees) = y/x. Given that the height of the pole is 12 feet, you can solve for x to find the angle of elevation.

France is approximately 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from its northernmost point to its southernmost point. This distance spans from the commune of Bray-Dunes in the north to the Pyrenees Mountains in the south.

The South Pole has larger icebergs compared to the North Pole. Antarctica, near the South Pole, has massive ice shelves that produce huge icebergs when they break off. The North Pole, on the other hand, consists mostly of floating sea ice, which generally results in smaller icebergs.

liv arnesen was the first women to reach the south pole in 1994...she is a Norwegian.

No, cacti typically require warm, desert-like conditions to thrive. The South Pole is an extremely cold and harsh environment not suitable for cactus growth.
