South Pole

To get from South Station to North Station in Boston, you can take the subway on the MBTA's Red Line from South Station to Park Street, then transfer to the Green Line heading towards Lechmere. Get off at the North Station stop. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or ride-sharing service for a quicker, more direct route.

Animals such as penguins, seals, and various bird species are known to live near the South Pole. These animals have adapted to the extreme cold temperatures and harsh conditions of the polar environment.

Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent. Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months. The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer. The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air. Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain. Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph. The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) experienced the world's lowest temperature when -89.6 degrees Celsius was recorded on 21st July, 1983, at Vostok Station at an elevation of 3488 metres.

The equator is at 0o latitude. The South Pole is at 90o south and the North Pole is at 90o north, for a total latitude difference of 180o.

Since a whole sphere (which is a 3D circle) is 360° any way you slice through the center , From one point to an opposite point (antipodal points) must be half of 360o, or 180o.

The South Pole of the Earth's magnetic field is considered to be the magnetic south pole, where the magnetic field lines point into the Earth. This is opposite to the geographic south pole, which is the point that lies at the southernmost tip of the Earth's axis of rotation.

That kind-of depends on what you call 'near', doesn't it.

The point on the east coast of Iceland that's nearest the Prime Meridian is at

about 13.5° west longitude, roughly 390 miles from the nearest point on the

meridian itself.

For comparison . . .

-- The point in the USA nearest the Prime Meridian (Barrow, Alaska) is about 1,290 miles from it.

-- The point in South America nearest the Prime Meridian is about 2,350 miles from it.

The planet experiencing constant daylight or darkness for 42 years at its poles is Uranus. This phenomenon is due to the unique tilt of Uranus's axis, which causes one pole to face the Sun continuously for half of its 84-year orbit, while the other pole is in constant darkness.

Captain Lawrence Oates died during the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole led by Robert Falcon Scott. He sacrificed himself by walking out of the tent in a blizzard to save his teammates. His last words were "I am just going outside and may be some time."

The length of 1 degree of latitude is less at the equator because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator due to its bulging shape. As you move towards the poles, the Earth's circumference decreases, causing the length of 1 degree of latitude to increase because the lines of latitude are closer together near the poles.

Mammals that live in the North Pole include polar bears, Arctic foxes, and reindeer. In the South Pole, mammals like seals, penguins, and whales are found. These animals have adapted to survive in the extreme cold and harsh conditions of the polar regions.

In June, the North Pole experiences nearly 24 hours of daylight due to the midnight sun phenomenon, creating a continuous period of sunlight. Temperatures are relatively cold, hovering around freezing point. The region is covered in sea ice, with some areas starting to show signs of melting as summer approaches.

The North and South Poles are magnetically atrractive (allowing one to find North on a compass), and also they are used as "cooling units" for earth, maintaining its temperature. Global Warming may be causing the melting of the Polar Ice Caps due to the pollution of industrial factories, smoke stacks, and power plants, but it also may be a Solar Cycle (ending in 2012 and restarting, according to the Mayans), which would lead to the fact why an Ice Age happens once every 17,000 years.

Because the poles are points.

If you stick a pencil through the middle of an apple, you can grab the ends of

the pencil and spin the apple just exactly like the Earth spins. The pencil would

be the "axis" of the apple's rotation.

The Earth doesn't have a pencil sticking through it, but it spins just as if it did have,

and we can imagine the axis of the Earth's rotation. The points where the axis sticks

out of the Earth are the north and south poles. They're only points.

• the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.

The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica at 90 degrees S latitude.

As seen from 25 degrees north latitude and ANY longitude, Polaris (the 'North Star', the 'Pole Star') appears
within about 1/2 degree of due north and 25 degrees above the northern horizon, at any time.

very cold in the winter and not to cold in the summer.

The fastest rate of weathering would generally occur in New York City due to its urban environment, which is subject to high levels of pollution and human activity. In contrast, the Amazon Jungle, South Pole, and North Pole have less human impact and are therefore subject to slower rates of weathering.

Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.

Texas is closer to the North Pole, as it is located in the Northern Hemisphere. The distance between Texas and the North Pole is significantly shorter than the distance between Texas and the South Pole.

No animals have been discovered at the exact South Pole as it has only been visited a few times. There are a number of insects and a few varieties of penguins that have been discovered elsewhere on Antarctica (closer to the water's edge).

Closest to the south pole of asia is Austraila.

An Adelie penguin is a cold weather penguin. They are well adapted to survive in the harsh climate of Antarctica, with thick layers of feathers and blubber to keep them warm in freezing temperatures. These penguins are also excellent swimmers and spend their lives in cold, icy waters hunting for fish and krill.
