South Pole

There is no indigenous population at the South Pole. It is a desolate and uninhabitable region with extreme cold temperatures and harsh conditions that make it unsuitable for human habitation.

The latitude of the south pole is 90° south.

The Arctic Circle (66.5 degrees North) marks the latitude where the sun doesn't set at least once in summer. The Antarctic Circle (66.5 degrees South) indicates the latitude where the sun doesn't rise at least once in winter.

The city with six months of continuous daylight followed by six months of continuous darkness is Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway. This phenomenon is due to its high latitude within the Arctic Circle.

On June 21, the South Pole experiences a phenomenon known as the polar day, where the sun remains continuously above the horizon, resulting in 24 hours of daylight. This is because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing the sun to circle the sky without setting.

At the north pole, the longest day of the year is six months long. The sun is up

continuously, in the sky, above the horizon, and does not set for 6 months.

June 21 is the day right in the middle of that period.

It is north of Greenwich. The north pole is where all the longitudes meet. It is directly north of everywhere, even Sydney, Australia.

June 21, North Pole: Bright sun 24 hours, snow everywhere, but feels warm or cool. June 21, Equator: 12 hours day, hot and steamy; 12 hours night, hot and steamy.

December 21, North Pole: Night 24 hours, snow everywhere, feels very cold, sometimes a bright moon and aurora.

December 21, Equator: 12 hours day, hot and steamy; 12 hours night, hot and steamy.

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.

The South Pole at 90°south. From that position it is only possible for you to travel northward, making it the farthest point south.

The poles experience 24 hours of daylight in summer and 24 hours of darkness in winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer, the pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Sun to never fully set, while in winter, the pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in continuous darkness.

Some countries or regions that lie along the 55 degrees south latitude include the southern regions of Chile and Argentina in South America, as well as the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean. This latitude line does not pass through any major cities.

The Earth are two North Poles: the geographic North Pole and the magnetic north pole. The geographic North Pole does not move.

The magnetic North Pole (this is the North Poles that allows a compass to work) does move. It moves (very slowly) due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the movement of liquid metal beneath the Earth's surface. (The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently near the geographic South Pole, near Antarctica. Conversely, the Earth's magnetic South Pole is currently near the geographic North Pole.)

colder than at the equator due to the angle of sunlight hitting the poles, causing denser air to sink and accumulate. This results in high atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures.

Antarctica is the continent where you will find the South Pole. It is the southernmost continent on Earth and is mostly covered in ice.

No, California is not located near the South Pole. California is a state in the United States on the West Coast, whereas the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica at the southernmost point of the Earth.

1.the north pole has no land under it and is only frozen ocean while the south pole has land under it even a mountain range called the transantarctic.

2. the north pole is where polar bears live and the antarctic is were the penguins live.

3. the south pole is the only continent that doesn't belong to anyone although in the post various explorers have claimed Antarctica as the antarctic treaty was made all claimed parts are set aside as long as the treaty lasts. while the north pole is claimed and owned.

4.the north pole is being mined and one of the largest oil resources in the world Antarctica (the south pole) is protected from any mining by the antarctic treaty.

5.the north pole is warmer place even though it is very cold getting to -27 C it is still not as cold as the -34 C or the coldest recorded -128 C.

As u see they are quite different!!

;)

They live exlusively in Antarctica but not actually at the south pole

It has to do with the tilt of the earth with respect to it's orbit plane. In the months of April to September the northern half of the globe faces the sun and the southern half is dark. During the rest of the year it's reversed.

Wind currents flow faster at the poles than at the equator. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to be deflected as they move from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating stronger winds at higher latitudes. Additionally, temperature differences between the equator and the poles contribute to the strength of wind currents.

The South Pole has a desert climate, almost never receiving any precipitation. Air humidity is near zero.

You probably mean to ask if Antarctica is a desert, because the south pole is just one tiny dot out in the middle.

Yes, Antarctica is considered a desert, the largest and coldest desert in the world.

Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

The equator runs through the Amazon Rainforest

Temperatures at the South Pole range from -50 to -20 degrees Celsius (-58 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit) on average. However, during the winter months, temperatures can drop to below -60 degrees Celsius (-76 degrees Fahrenheit).

Roald Amundsen was the leader of the first group of explorers to reach the South Pole in 1911. He and his team reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott.
