South Pole

It is called a Lance

The south pole is called the geographic pole,mean while the north pole is the

magnatomic pole.

If it's lubricated, then the greese in its bearings may freeze at certain times

of the year. If it spins at all, then it will behave exactly as it does anywhere

else on Earth.

Researchers in the 16th century itself has predicted the existence of the North Pole. Several explorers tried to reach the North Pole in the 18th century. In 1827, a British naval officer named William Edward Parry tried, but was forced to turn back.Later in 1871, an expedition led by American Charles Hall had also failed.In 1895 Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen got to 86 degrees 14' North prior to being forced back. The Italian whaler Stella Polare got to 86 degrees and 34'. In the first part of 19th century a man by name Frederick Cook who was an American declared that he reached the pole on April 21, 1908. But his expedition was not recognized due to lack of sufficient evidence. Later an American naval engineer Robert Peary claimed he reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909. His expedition is still under dispute. One of the objections was that none of Peary's men were trained for navigation. His expedition is also said to be 3 times faster than any other expeditions to the pole.

Because of the angle between the earth's rotational axis and the sun, even at the height of summer, the sun shines at an oblique angle at the poles, never getting directly overhead, which means that it is filtered through more of the atmosphere, reducing its intensity and thus its warming effects. The net result is that the temperature at the poles seldom rises much above freezing.

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

Longitude

Antarctica is the southernmost continent and has an area of 5,400,000 square miles but a population of zero. The south pole is a single point on Antarctica.

600Km approx.

You're talking about the 'Arctic Circle'.

Amundsen disappeared on June 18, 1928 while flying on a rescue mission with Norwegian pilot Leif Dietrichson, French pilot Rene Guilbaud, and three more Frenchmen, looking for missing members of Umberto Nobile's crew, whose new airship Italia had crashed while returning from the North Pole.

This weather is cold

History tells of only one death at the South Pole: Rodney Marks, an Australian astrophysicist who died from methanol poisoning. He died on May 12, 2000 at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station.

This was his second winter-over at pole, and this time, he was employed with the 'Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, working on the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory, a research project for the University of Chicago', according to his Wikipedia entry.

Until explorers confirmed that the continent of Antarctica was a solid continent, maps generally terminated before showing the --unknown -- geography of the South Pole. Explorers finally set foot at the South Pole in 1911 and 1912.

it is Antarctica

Geometry teaches there are an infinite number of semi-circles for a sphere. Hence in the grid system that creates the longitude lines that form semi-circles, it becomes the same as what is taught in geometry = infinite number.

If you limit yourself to using a llimited definition to units of whole degrees, then 360 semi-circles. However, I suspect that the answer you need is Infinite.

Antarctica

Like many other things, that will depend on your precise location; the number of daylight hours in Presque Isle, Maine will be longer than the number of daylight hours in Newport, Rhode Island.

Here is the sunrise/sunset data for Presque Isle, ME on June 21, 2010:

Sunrise 4:38 a.m.

Sunset 8:29 p.m.

Twilight at this latitude adds about a half-hour at either end of the day.

So, it looks like about 15.8 hours. It would be somewhat less south of Presque Isle, and a little longer anywhere north of there.

Ice-free regions in Antarctica are generally called 'the beach'.

Ideally, the International Date Line should be the meridian of 180° longitude. Actually,

it has been zigged and zagged to avoid cutting across any island or country, since to do

so would put two different calendar dates in the same country simultaneously.

If the IDL coincided with the 180° meridian, then together with the Prime Meridian, it would

form a great circle on the earth, passing through the north and south poles as well as through

Greenwich. As it is now, the Prime Meridian, the 180° meridian, and all other meridians of longitude

are semi-circles, that begin and end at the poles.
