South Pole

The North Pole, which sits on the Arctic Ocean ice, is warmer by about 30 degrees F than the South Pole, which sits on an ice sheet that stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.

The Southern Hemisphere beings its turn toward the sun on June 21 and on December 21, it begins to turn away.

Earth's Axis

There is not enough information provided to know. If one was walking five miles south, then east, then north, and you were on the northern coast of Alaska, it would probably - but not invariably - be white, the color of a polar bear.

However, you could as easily be walking those distances and directions any where in the world, so you could see any color of bear that exists in the area.

The Southern Hemisphere would be pointed away from the sun in order for the South Pole to experience 24 hours of darkness -- which occurs at the pole every day between about March 21 and September 21.

Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

True. Continental glaciers are large ice sheets that cover vast land areas near the North and South Poles. These glaciers are much larger than alpine glaciers and play a significant role in shaping the landscape through processes like erosion and deposition.

It's a set of geographic coordinates which describe a point on the surface of the earth.

The point is located in Queen Anne's County on the eastern shore of Maryland. It's about 2.2 miles

west of Ruthsburg and 1.6 miles north-northeast of Starr, out in the middle of a cultivated field.

A galleon 'pole' is called a mast, just like on other ships. There are different names for a mast depending on its location on the ship and the number of masts. Main, mid, aft, mizzen, jigger. Not necessarily in that order.

Captain Cook was the first European to cross the Antarctic Circle. But he most

likely did not sail to the south pole, because the pole is a good 300 miles from

the nearest ocean, and probably more than 1,000 miles from the nearest water

that's not permanently frozen.

The northernmost part of Greenland is approximately 700km, or 450 miles, from the North Pole.

A galleon pole is commonly referred to as a "spar" or a "mast." It is a long, slender pole used on ships to support sails or rigging.

If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would

ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight.

Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun.

The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for

either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.

The Inuit people, commonly referred to as Eskimos, have inhabited Arctic regions for thousands of years. They did not 'get' to the North Pole as it is a shifting point in the Arctic Ocean, but some Inuit communities have lived near and navigated the Arctic for generations. There is no permanent human settlement at the North Pole.

It is purely coincidental that the north star Polaris happens to be fairly close to the north celestial pole in the skies. In fact, the Earth's rotation wobbles very slowly - called "precession" - over a span of 25,800 years. In about 3000 years, the north pole won't be pointing to Polaris, but to some other spot in the sky, and there will not be a "pole star".

In about 12,000 years, the "pole star" will be Vega, and in 24,000 years it will be back to Polaris again.

Because the precession is so slow, no human lives long enough to notice any changes.

Nobody lives in the South Pole.

This invention employs a magnetometer as a magnetic heading reference for a vehicle such as a small aircraft. The magnetometer is mounted on a directional dial in the aircraft in the vicinity of the pilot such that it is free to turn with the dial about the yaw axis of the aircraft. The invention includes a circuit for generating a signal proportional to the northerly turning error produced in the magnetometer due to the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field. This generated signal is then subtracted from the output of the magnetometer to compensate for the northerly turning error.

90 degrees north latitude is named the "north pole", whereas

90 degrees south latitude is named the "south pole".

It is an evergreen forest. Both poles grow only coniferous trees. The climates at both poles can only grow trees that do not lose their leaves.

The "Northern Lights" (or Aurora Borealis) are seen near the North Pole.

The "Southern Lights" (or Aurora Australis) are seen near the South Pole.

For more information on Auroras, see the related link included.

Very cold and windy, with very little precipitation.

90 degrees south latitude is the south pole.

Right now there is a little over 6000 sets of triplets in the U.S. 1 in every 1,000 triplet births are identical.

Yes, some people are extremely affected by altitude sickness and cannot remain at their duty stations. Altitude sickness, however, does not strike all workers or scientists.
