South Pole

Captain Robert F Scott used ponies on his expedition to the South Pole which is probably one of the main contributing factors to the fatal outcome of the expedition. All of the ponies had died before he got to the South Pole.

The south pole-aitken basin is a good location for a solar-powered moon colony because it receives constant sunlight due to its location near the lunar south pole, where the sun is almost always low on the horizon. This allows for continuous solar power generation. Additionally, the basin contains water ice that could be used for drinking water and hydrogen-oxygen fuel production.

I know typical penguins have a stained yellowish-brownish color due to urine and feces. In the winter months while the mother is away getting food, the males will huddle together to stay warm; therefore, when they urinate or have a bowel movement, they stay in one place. Only to humans is that "gross".

The North Pole is located at the northernmost point of the Earth. The South Pole is located at the southernmost point of the Earth.

The layers of ice that form at the north and south polar regions are called ice caps. These ice caps are composed of ice sheets, which are massive layers of ice that cover vast areas of land.

The weather at the South Pole is extremely cold, with temperatures commonly in the range of -70 to -50 degrees Celsius. Winds are also strong, leading to wind chills that can make it feel even colder. The area experiences long, dark winters and shorter, sunlit summers.

At 90 degrees latitude, you are at either the North Pole (90 degrees North) or the South Pole (90 degrees South). These locations are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface, making them the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth.

The South Pole is located on land, specifically within Antarctica. In contrast, the North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by sea ice.

The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica at 90 degrees S latitude. The continental land furthest away from the South Pole might be northern most tip of Asia or perhaps North America.

The distance east or west from a given point on Earth as measured pole to pole is noted by the longitude. Longitude lines run north and south and are measured as angles east or west from the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.

You can fly continuously south around the world following a great circle route. You would eventually reach the point where south and north meet at the South Pole, completing a full circle. The distance would depend on the starting point and the specific flight path taken.

The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, and is a long way away from the coastal regions where most animal life would exist. There is no food for animals at the South Pole. The North Pole is located on a floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean. Animals such as Polar Bears might be able to break through thin ice around the North Pole to get at fish. Potentially, there would be more life at the North pole.

Norway was the first Scandinavian country to fly its flag at the South Pole. Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, led the first successful expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911.

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.

The North Pole is not so much a thing as it is a place: Thursday, August 2, 2007 Russian expedition Arktika 2007 made the first descent to the ocean bottom below the North Pole, and planted a titanium flag of Russia on the seabed. Submarines have in the past traveled below the Arctic ice cap, but this is the first time man has reached the seabed below the North Pole. The Mir-1 and a second Mir-2 submarine face the challenge of diving 13,980 feet (4,261 metres) deep, and then having to resurface at the exact location where they've submerged, because they are not strong enough to penetrate the ice themselves. The nuclear ice-breaker vessel Rossiya is keeping the ice open for the research ship and the submarines. * http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Russia_made_the_first_descent_to_the_ocean_bottom_below_the_North_Pole

No, the tropopause is actually highest near the equator and lowest near the poles. This is because the tropopause is defined as the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, and the troposphere is thicker at the equator due to the Earth's rotation and warmer temperatures.

The South Pole is closest to the sun during the southern hemisphere summer, which occurs around the end of December. This is because of the tilt of the Earth's axis and the elliptical shape of its orbit around the sun.

The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica.

No way are they similar, apart from ice and cold, They are two completely different regions of the Earth. That would like saying a rainforest and a desert are similar.

The Arctic region is essentially a frozen ocean surrounded by land. While Antarctica is a continent with mountain ranges and lakes surrounded by an ocean.

The southernmost continent has roughly 90 percent of the world's ice, which amounts to nearly three quarters of the Earth's fresh water being locked away there. While the Arctic is frozen seawater.

The Antarctic is so cold that the snow never melts in many areas of the continent. The region's average temperature is about -56 degrees Fahrenheit (-49 degrees Celsius), making it the coldest climate on earth. In contrast, the Arctic's average winter temperature is -29 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius), but it gets warmer in the summer. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -128 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.6 degrees Celsius), recorded July 21, 1983, at the Vostok Station located near the South Geomagnetic Pole.

The equator is at 0 degees latitude, the South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. As you move away from the equator towards the higher latitudes, sun light must travel further through the earth's atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth which subsequently weakens it. The temperature becomes progressively colder, so by the time you reach the polar regions, the temperature rarely gets above freezing.

Because the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth is so small, it provides very little energy. If you were at the north pole in the summer, you would see that the sun only rises just above the horizon, and it moves across the entire 360 degrees of the horizon. It is never anywhere close to being overhead. This is why the sun provides such a small amount of energy that the temperature remains below freezing.
