Since the South Pole is located on top of more than 10,000 feet of ice, and is inland about 750 Km, there are no animals that live there, except human scientists and humans in support of science. They work at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Term of service is limited to 12 months.
No animals live on the Antarctic continent, but there are animals that come to its beaches to breed. These include several kinds of penguins, Weddell and Leopard seals, Skuas, and some Terns.
There is no natural food chain in Antarctica.
The only animal you will find at the South Pole is a human animal, living and working there in support of science.
You can find the South Pole on the continent of Antarctica. Penguins are sea birds, four types of which breed for a few months on Antarctica's beaches. No animals live at the South Pole, or on Antarctica: it s too cold there and the geography lacks any kind of food chain. Antarctica is 10% of the Earth's surface, and 98% of it is covered with an ice sheet.
No penguins live at the South Pole because it's too far from the sea! Of the 18 species of penguin, only 5 live in Antarctica, and all but the emperor penguin leave Antarctica in the winter. The emperor penguin nests no more than 30 miles inland --- still 1470 miles from the south pole!Another AnswerPenguins are sea birds and make their homes in the sea where they find food. Four types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, including the Emperor, Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo.The closest open water to the South Pole is about 750 miles, and the elevation of the South Pole is higher than 9,300 feet.Antarctica is too cold to support animal life of any kind, and there is no food chain there.OVER 9000WHAT 9000 that's impossible
No animals live in Antarctica: it's too cold there to support any kind of food chain.
Innuits live in the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. The South Pole is on Antarctica at the opposite end of the earth. Antarctica is too cold -- about 30 degrees F colder than in the north -- to support any kind of life.
No animals live in Antarctica: it's too cold to support any kind of food chain.

There are no animals that live in Antarctica: it's too cold to support animal life or any kind of food chain.
Because they evolved from brown bears, and this species is found only in the northern hemisphere. Also polar bears are primarily aquatic feeders - feeding on and around ice floes - and the South Pole is a LONG ways from any open water or ice pack. Antarctica is HUGE. In theory polar bears might survive in the seas around Antarctica, but it's not their native habitat and there is much less ice pack than in the Arctic because most of the ice is deposited on the land mass of Antarctica.
