The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is one of the two points where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface. De ce fait, s’il est possible qu’il ait pu se produire naturellement, cela reste « In the summer (September–March), the sun is continuously above the horizon and appears to move in a counter-clockwise circle. The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station was −12.3 °C (9.9 °F) on Christmas Day, 2011,In most places on Earth, local time is determined by Due to its exceptionally harsh climate, there are no native resident plants or animals at the South Pole.



Elle a été relevée le 21 juillet 1983 à …

1. This lack of warmth from the sun, combined with the high altitude (about 2,800 metres (9,200 ft)), means that the South Pole has one of the coldest climates on Earth (though it is not quite the coldest; that record goes to the region in the vicinity of the The South Pole is at an altitude of 9,300 feet (2,800 m) but feels like 11,000 feet (3,400 m).In midsummer, as the sun reaches its maximum elevation of about 23.5 degrees, high temperatures at the South Pole in January average at −25.9 °C (−15 °F). Conclusion : Stabilité des températures au pôle Sud malgré le CO2 atmosphérique croissant depuis 1958.

It is currently buried beneath the snow and ice in the vicinity of the Pole.


3. In midwinter, the average temperature remains steady at around −60 °C (−76 °F). Si la banquise varie, ce ne peut pas être en raison de la température atmosphérique.

American naval officer The first men to reach the Geographic South Pole were the Norwegian It was not until 31 October 1956 that humans once again set foot at the South Pole, when a party led by Admiral After Amundsen and Scott, the next people to reach the South Pole Subsequent to the establishment, in 1987, of the logistic support base at The fastest unsupported journey to the Geographic South Pole from the ocean is 24 days and one hour from The fastest solo (female), unsupported and unassisted trek to the south pole was performed by In the 2011/12 summer, separate expeditions by Norwegian On 28 December 2018, the first Briton unassisted journey to cross the Antarctic via the south pole was performed by Captain During the southern winter (March–September), the South Pole receives no sunlight at all, and from May 11 to August 1, between extended periods of twilight, it is completely dark (apart from moonlight). For most purposes, the Geographic South Pole is defined as the southern point of the two points where Earth's The Geographic South Pole is presently located on the continent of The polar ice sheet is moving at a rate of roughly 10 metres per year in a direction between 37° and 40° west of grid north,The Geographic South Pole is marked by a stake in the ice alongside a small sign; these are repositioned each year in a ceremony on The Ceremonial South Pole is an area set aside for photo opportunities at the The tent was erected by the Norwegian expedition led by Roald Amundsen on its arrival on December 14, 1911. Off-course This article is about the Geographic South Pole. Un phénomène qui risque d’accélérer dangereusement la fonte des glaces et la montée des eaux. Celui-ci s’est réchauffé d’1,8 °C en l’espace de trente ans seulementAlors que le tableau général du réchauffement climatique montre une augmentation régulière des températures globales, certaines parties de la Terre se réchauffent plus rapidement que d’autres. 4.

La température moyenne ainsi que les températures moyennes d'été et d'hiver de l' Antarctique sont stables de puis 1958 ! Le pôle Nord a moins de superficie que le sud As the six-month "day" wears on and the sun gets lower, temperatures drop as well: they reach −45 °C (−49 °F) around sunset (late March) and sunrise (late September).

L'élévation de la glace au-dessus du niveau de la mer est plus élevée au sud qu'au nord. Celles-ci ont pris en compte les concentrations de gaz à effet de serre au cours de cette période de 30 ans, et ont permis à l’équipe de comparer le taux de réchauffement à toutes les tendances de réchauffement possibles qui se seraient produites naturellement sans l’activité humaine.Selon les auteurs de l’étude, le réchauffement réel observé dépasse 99,9 % de tous les scénarios possibles sans influence humaine.
