South Pole

In January 1909 he and three companions made a southern journey which established a record Farthest South latitude at 88°23'S, 97 geographical miles (114 statute miles, 190 km) from the South Pole.

The imaginary circle on Earth where the South Pole starts is called the Antarctic Circle. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.

The North Pole does not have any land beneath it, as it is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered by sea ice. In contrast, the South Pole sits on the continent of Antarctica, which is a landmass covered by ice and snow. Therefore, the South Pole has more land under it compared to the North Pole.

It would be closer to the Equator, but just barely.

Madison, Wisconsin is about 185 miles south east of Cadott, Wisconsin.

Cadott is pretty much exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator.

The celestial equator is the imaginary line in the heavens that runs around the Earth midway between the celestial poles. It is an extension of Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere and divides the sky into northern and southern hemispheres.

Neither the North nor South Pole is near France. The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the South Pole is located in Antarctica and is located in the Southern Hemisphere. France is located in Europe, so it is far from both poles.

The imaginary line that passes through the Earth's center and the North and South Poles is called the Earth's axis. It is an important reference point for understanding the Earth's rotation and tilt.

yes it does but not for too long as the north and south poles are furthest land or ice away from the equater. but they do get long stretches of almost total darkness and less sunlight on most days and what they get is not high in the sky sun but rather low on the horizon

Explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott famously raced to the South Pole in the early 1900s. Amundsen reached the pole first in 1911, while Scott arrived a month later in 1912 but tragically perished on the return journey.

The total number of degrees from the North Pole to the South Pole is 180 degrees.

Yes, Antarctica is located far south of Greenland. Greenland is in the North Atlantic Ocean, while Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere, at the South Pole.

Ernest Shackleton took dogs but not horses on his expeditions to Antarctica. He used sled dogs to help transport supplies and equipment across the icy terrain.

Those points are the north and south poles, respectively.

Yes, you can think of lines of latitude as running parallel to each other like telephone poles. They are imaginary lines that circle the Earth horizontally and are used to measure distances north or south of the Equator. The Equator itself is at 0 degrees latitude.

Winds and currents flow faster at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation, which deflects winds and currents, making them stronger at the equator where the effect is minimized. At the poles, the Coriolis effect is strongest, resulting in slower winds and currents.

Siberia experiences extreme cold temperatures due to its continental climate, with winter Arctic air masses bringing freezing conditions. In contrast, the North Pole is located over the Arctic Ocean, which moderates the temperature. Additionally, Siberia's landmass allows for colder temperatures to develop than in the open ocean surrounding the North Pole.

Yes, the Antarctic Region near the South Pole generally experiences colder temperatures than the Arctic Region near the North Pole. This is due to various factors such as higher elevation of the Antarctic ice sheet, which promotes colder conditions, as well as differences in ocean currents and sea ice extent in the two regions.

The Mississippi River is the transportation artery that travels from north to south in the United States. It is one of the longest rivers in North America and a key transportation route for goods and commodities.

The geographic poles are the points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, while the geomagnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the surface. The geographic poles are fixed, while the geomagnetic poles move due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

December has the shortest number of daylight hours in Houston.

The Equator divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres based on latitude. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and circles the Earth at its widest point. Areas that lie north of the Equator are in the Northern Hemisphere, while areas south of it are in the Southern Hemisphere.
