South Pole

Ninety degrees South Latitude for the south pole and ninety degrees North Latitude for the north pole. No longitude indicator is required to position poles on the planet earth.

In general, the South Pole is nearly the coldest place on earth. The only place that is usually colder is in the vicinity of the Vostok Station, also in Antarctica, which lies at a higher elevation. The warmest part of the year in Antarctica is in January - the middle of Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. High temperatures at the South Pole in January average at −25.9 °C (−15 °F).

The coldest part of the year at the South Pole is in July - the middle of the Winter there. Average low temperatures at the South Pole in July drop to -62.8 °C (-81 °F).

come dude wolf lives all parts of this stupid world

Many people visit Antarctica as passengers on adventure cruises for the opportunity to learn something firsthand about an unusual part of their world. Scientists go to Antarctica to perform research on the climate, wildlife, and other features of Antarctica. They also study global warming there.

Because you are thinking small..... leave the planet and look back at it... there is no "up" or "down" once you out in space. We attach that relative perspective because we need order to understand things. We could just have easily created maps and references to our planet that had the South Pole on 'top' and the North Pole on 'bottom'. A circle (or sphere) has no start/stop point, and no top or bottom. Anywhere we stand on the planet, its gravity pulls us directly toward the center, so think of our relative "up and down" from that point of reference. "down is a straight line directly toward the center of the planet and "up" is a straight line directly away from it, no matter where you stand. Hope this helps. :)

Bangladesh is a country in Asia, not near the South Pole. It shares a border with India, which is west of Bangladesh.

Pole reversal or geomagnetic reversal. The North and South pole "flip", in the case of the earth, the magnetic North pole (normally at the top of the earth), would now be at the bottom and the magnetic South would be at the top.

This has happened hundreds of times over the history of the earth and can be "read" from the orientation of magnetic crystals laid down in molten igneous rocks which "record" the direction of magnetic North as the rock cools.

Should such an event happen during our lifetime the effects would be substantial, but not life threatening. Compasses would be reversed, GPS systems would be out etc. But all of these things can be rectified with some smart programming, re-labeling and re-orientating ourselves to a new way of life.

Sadly, this may not be the case with animals; many animals, mammals, insects and fish use the Earth's magnetic fields to orientate themselves for location and navigation. If a polar flip were to occur, we may find pods of dolphins or whales becoming beached, flocks of birds loosing their way during migration. This could result in large number of these animals dying before they were able to "re-calibrate" themselves.

Maps and geographical reference would have to be changed. For example you couldn't call the "Middle East" that any more as it would now be the "Middle West". The West Wing of the White House, would now be the East Wing etc :)

Think about how things would change if such a reversal were to take place, what things would be influenced and how that may affect your daily life.

This depends on the location; in more isolated areas there may be as few as one telephone pole in 5 miles, but in more populated areas there could be as many as 20 in a mile.

The North Pole ice is melting. Because much of that ice floats on water, the effect strangely enough is that water levels become marginally lower instead of higher: ice has more volume than water. The South pole is not melting. You sometimes see spectacular amounts of ice break off and thunder into the water there, but that is because much of that ice is at the end of a glacier which 'pushes' the ice into the sea.

Yes, every line of longitude runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.

180° north longitude

There is a geographic North Pole and a magnetic North Pole. It's also in the Arctic Circle and the magnetic North Pole is stationed directly above the Earth's axis. The geographic North Pole has moved because it's basically a slab of ice that floats around.

The southernmost human settlement is Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station right on the Geographical south pole. The population is around 200 in the summer, and 43 stayed the winter in 2009.


The Northernmost settlement is Alert, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. It has a population of only 76! It is only 520 miles to the north pole!




(P.S. If you count summer-only settlements, the Russian Ice Camp, Borneo is the Northernmost settlement. It has a population of 100 (2006) and is only 60 miles from the pole itself!)

In relation to the question asked, (south pole = antarctic) the answer is the arctic. The north pole is located in the Arctic region, specifically the Arctic Ocean. When people use the term "The North Pole", they may mean Magnetic North or they may mean the Geographic North Pole/Terrestial North Pole. The latter two terms are the point in the northern hemisphere where the earth's axis meets the earth's surface. There is no land mass at the North Pole. It is currently covered by ice caps, which shift. Therefore there is no permanent marker of the North Pole.

For example the south pole and the south geographic pole are located at the bottom and they are aligned. that's how they are the same plus they are both poles.

There you go for whoever asked and whoever needs. It was nice sharing with you and your welcome

Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored Antarctica 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 sun would be at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizon on the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year. At 29 degrees north latitude, this would be the highest angle the sun reaches in the sky.

Day light would still last the amount of time. Watches and clocks do not control time periods. The same amount of sunlight would be the same wherever you live as well as the night time. That is how it was thousands of years ago before there were any watches or clocks.

Its called the earth's axis

"Shitter" is an informal term that is sometimes used as a slang word for a toilet or bathroom.

The poles are imaginay points, and can't melt.

If the pollar ice caps were to melt, it probably would not be enough to put all of

the Dominican Republic under the sea, since the country includes a serious range

of mountains that separates it from Haiti.

The islands of the south Pacific are another matter. Over there, they've been

seeing it happen for years now, and they don't have that much left to go.

Latitudinal extent refers to angular distance. It's in degrees south or north to the equator and is equal to the angle at the center of the globe.
