South Pole

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.

You may be thinking of the Sub-Antarctic Islands, some north and some south of 60 degrees S. (All land and ice south of 60 degrees S is governed by the Antarctic Treaty.)

There are literally several hundred individual islands including the Crozier Island Group and the Auckland Islands south of 60 degrees, and the South Georgia Islands and the South Sandwich Islands north of it.

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.

Ernest Shackleton packed essential items such as food provisions (biscuits, pemmican), clothing (woolen socks, fur mittens), equipment (tents, sleeping bags), medical supplies, navigation tools (sextant, compass), and personal items (diaries, photographs) for his voyage to the South Pole. He also brought sledges, skis, and dogs for transportation across the ice.

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.

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.

The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.

The Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent of Antarctica can measure 27 degrees F before freezing, based on the high mineral content of the water. During the winter, the ocean water freezes, essentially doubling the size of the Antarctica.

The water temperature consistently hovers around freezing.

He reached the South Pole on January 3rd 1958 as part of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition. He was a bit cheeky in doing that as he was only supposed to lay supply dumps for the team that was doing the actual crossing of Antarctica.

The closest country south of Detroit is Canada. Specifically, the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario is directly across the Detroit River from Detroit.

If you start north and pass the North Pole, you would technically still be heading north because you would continue to move in the same direction on the globe's surface. However, your compass or GPS direction might shift to south due to the magnetic pole reversal near the North Pole.

Yes, the North and South Poles are located on the Earth's axis. The North Pole is the point at which the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface in the Northern Hemisphere, while the South Pole is the point in the Southern Hemisphere.

Argentina, like Chile, is very long north-to-south, and extends from about 20° S to about 55° S latitude. So northern Argentina is closer by far to the equator, central Argentina is about midway, and southern Argentina is closer to the south pole.

Ernest Shackleton did not reach the South Pole. He led expeditions to Antarctica, including the famous Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1914-1917 where his ship, the Endurance, became trapped in ice and sank. Shackleton and his crew never made it to the South Pole but they did manage to survive against incredible odds.

North and south are magnetic poles. Magnetism is a fundamental force that exists between these two poles, which are attracted to each other. On the other hand, east and west, red and blue, and up and down are not related to magnetic poles.

If you (as is practise) call the end of a magnet that points north when suspended freely the "North" pole, then Yes, the place in Canada where the "Magnetic North pole" is is really magnetically a South pole (has the same magnetic moment as the end of the bar magnet that points south). Confusing enough?

Glaciers don't always form near the poles, although they are close but not all of them are. You can look at the Glacier Pio XI, in Patagonia, Chile. It is close to the southern pole but the climate there is temperate to moderate. It all depends on the regional climate and how the climate was there thousands of years ago.

Icebergs can come from both the North and South poles. Generally, icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere come from Arctic glaciers, while those in the Southern Hemisphere come from Antarctic glaciers.

First signed in December 1959, by the 12 countries that took part in the international Geophysical Year of 1957-58, they were Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The 12 original countries have over the years been joined by other countries. the total now stands at 41 countries who have signed the Treaty.

No, the South Pole does not have warm summers. Even in the summer months, temperatures at the South Pole remain extremely cold due to its location deep within the Antarctic continent. Temperature rarely rises above freezing at the South Pole, making it one of the coldest places on Earth.

The first Indian woman to reach the North Pole is Reena Kaushal Dharmshaktu. She achieved this feat in 2006 as part of an international expedition.

The Indian station for Arctic Research is called Himadri, and the station is at Ny-Alesund in Norway, which is the northern-most permanent human settlement, 1,200 km from the North Pole, opened in 2008.
