This should be that the South Pole is colder, because most of the Antarctic is land, and most of the North Pole is the ocean, and the ocean is higher than the land in terms of the function of regulating temperature, and the earth has the longest orbit time in July, and it hits the northern hemisphere, so I think the South Pole will be colder.

It's definitely colder in Antarctica, because the extreme temperature in Antarctica is lower than in the Arctic.

Antarctica is colder. There are six reasons for this:
1.Antarctica is land, and the North Pole is the ocean, the Arctic Ocean. Because the land has less specific heat, it warms up and cools down faster, so the South Pole in winter is colder than the North Pole in winter. This is the most important reason for the temperature difference between the two stages.
2.Antarctica has a high latitude and a small solar altitude angle, and the solar radiation has a long path through the atmosphere, which is weakened by the atmosphere more, and even less reaches the ground; The solar altitude angle is small, and the same amount of solar radiation is dispersed in a large area, so the solar radiation per unit area is less. So the average temperature is lower.
In addition, there are polar nights in various parts of the Antarctic Circle every year, and the polar night period at the South Pole lasts for half a year, during which no solar radiation is irradiated, only heat is lost. Antarctica is covered in snow and ice all year round, and the snow and ice strongly reflect the sun's radiation, so more heat is lost.
3.Antarctica is a plateau continent with an average altitude of 2,350 meters, the highest average altitude in the world; Nearly two-thirds of the Arctic is ocean, and the average elevation is only about the same as sea level. As the saying goes, "it's not cold in high places", so the temperature in Antarctica is relatively low.
This is also an important factor in the fact that the Antarctic is colder than the Arctic.
4.The center of Antarctica is a polar high pressure area, and the airflow flows from the center to the surrounding areas, blocking warm air from low latitudes from entering the Antarctic continent. In addition, there is also the Antarctic Circulation on the periphery of Antarctica, which is a cold current and has a cooling and dehumidifying effect. Therefore, the temperature in the Antarctic continent is low.

The North Pole and the South Pole are colder than the North Pole.

It's all cold, there should be no difference, I'm really helping you look forward to it,

The South Pole is colder than the North Pole.
The phenomenon that the South Pole is colder than the North Pole is due to different heat obtained from solar radiation, different atmospheric circulation conditions, and different underlying surface conditions. The Antarctic region is made up of the Antarctic continent and nearby islands, and although it is surrounded by the ocean, the interior of the continent is less affected by the ocean due to the high terrain in the east. The Arctic region is mainly the Arctic Ocean, and under the influence of the North Atlantic Current, it is naturally "warmer" than the Antarctic.
The Arctic has endless snow and ice, long winters. The North Pole, like the South Pole, has polar day and night phenomena, and the closer you get to the North Pole, the more obvious it is. Winter in the Arctic is long, cold and dark, starting on November 23 every year, and for nearly half a year there will be days when the sun is completely invisible.
The temperature can drop as low as minus 50. By this time all the waves and tides were gone, because the shore was frozen and only the wind swept around with snow.
Biological resources of Antarctica
Due to the extremely harsh natural environment, Antarctica is very scarce and has the fewest biological resources in the world, especially in the inland areas, where natural life is almost non-existent. However, the marine biological resources are extremely rich, with a large number of seaweeds, corals, starfish, sponges, krill and other organisms, among which krill is the main food of many creatures in the waters of Antarctica**.
Most of the creatures in Antarctica are distributed in the Antarctic Peninsula and coastal areas and islands, and there are birds and sea beasts near the coast and islands, and the birds are mostly penguins. In the warm season, penguins often gather along the coast, forming a representative scene in the middle of Antarctica. The main sea beasts of the Bi tribe are seals, sea lions and dolphins.
There are only more than 850 species of plants in Antarctica, and most of them are lower plants, and only 3 species of flowering plants are higher plants, all of which are distributed at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. Among the lower plants, there are more than 350 species of lichens, more than 370 species of mosses, and more than 130 species of algae.

Antarctica is colder.
A brief introduction to Antarctica is as follows:
Antarctica, the continent that surrounds Antarctica, is one of the seven continents of the Earth. Located at the southern tip of the earth, it is surrounded by the Southern Ocean and is bordered by the Behringsgauching Sea, the Ross Sea, the Amundsen Sea and the Weddell Sea.
Antarctica is composed of continents, continental edge ice and islands, with a total area of 10,000 square kilometers, of which the continental area is 10,000 square kilometers, the continental margin ice area is 10,000 square kilometers, and the island area is 10,000 square kilometers. The whole territory is a large plateau with an average altitude of 2,350 meters, which is the highest average altitude in the world.
The continent is almost entirely covered by glaciers, accounting for more than 80% of the world's modern ice cover. Continental glaciers stretch from ** to the sea, forming a huge Ross ice barrier, and icebergs float in the surrounding sea.
Only 2% of the entire continent is free of snow and ice all year round, and plants and animals are able to survive. The climate is very cold, with extreme minimum temperatures reaching the year).
Wind speeds generally reach 17 18 meters per second, and the maximum reaches more than 90 meters per second, making it the world's coldest land with the most storms and winds. The average annual precipitation on the continent is 55 mm, there is almost no precipitation near the pole, and the air is very dry, which is called the "white desert".
In the Antarctic Circle, there are continuous polar days in the warm season and continuous polar nights in the cold season, and there are gorgeous arc-shaped aurora lights. Animals include penguins, walruses, sea lions, albatrosses, etc. Antarctic cod and largemouth fish are produced in the nearby oceans, and krill production is the largest in the world.
Minerals have been found in coal, oil, natural gas, gold, silver, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, iron, copper, uranium, etc., mainly distributed in the Antarctic Peninsula and coastal island areas.
There are no settled inhabitants on the continent, only scientific expeditions and whaling teams from all over the world. The Chinese Antarctic Expedition has built the Great Wall Station of Antarctica, Zhongshan Station of Antarctica, Kunlun Station of Antarctica, and Taishan Station of Antarctica.
Antarctica is composed of continents, continental edge ice and islands, with a total area of 10,000 square kilometers, of which the continental area is 10,000 square kilometers, the continental edge ice area is 10,000 square kilometers, and the island area is 10,000 square kilometers.
Most of Antarctica is more than 2 kilometers of mountains and plateaus, the highest point of Mount Vincent, 5,140 meters above sea level, the average thickness of the ice is 2 kilometers, the thickest is 4,750 meters, is the main location of the world's fresh water. It is estimated that if the ice melts as the ice melts as the temperature continues to rise, the average sea level will rise by 66 metres, and most of the world's coastal areas will be inundated.

The Antarctic is colder than the Arctic because Antarctica is a continent and the Arctic region is a sea. The specific heat capacity of seawater is larger than that of land, so the temperature of seawater changes less.
As we all know, the North and South Poles of the earth are covered with ice and snow all year round, which can be said to be the two coldest places, so is the South Pole colder or the North Pole colder? Let's talk about it.
01 The Arctic is a sea surrounded by continents, with the Arctic Ocean in the middle. There are only two seasons in summer and winter, and it is dark in winter, and the minimum temperature can reach -60. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the sea, with an altitude of 2,350 meters, as the highest continent in the world, more than 95% of the Antarctic continent is covered by ice and snow all year round.
The temperature is generally -50 -60, and the lowest can reach -90.
02 Antarctica is an ice continent surrounded by the sea, and strong storms blow on the ice sheet all year round, and the thick ice layer does not melt all year round. In Antarctica, the average temperature here is minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius. In winter, the temperature often drops to around 60 degrees Celsius.
The lowest temperature in Antarctica can reach minus 90 degrees Celsius.
03 And most of the entire Arctic region is the sea, that is, the Arctic Sea. The Arctic Sea is surrounded by continents. At the same time, warm currents from the Atlantic Ocean pass through here and flow into the Arctic Sea.
Therefore, the climate in the Arctic is not as cold as in Antarctica, and the minimum temperature is only about minus 60 degrees Celsius.
04 In other words, Antarctica is a continent and the Arctic is a sea. According to what we have learned in geography, the specific heat capacity of seawater is larger than that of land, so the temperature change of seawater is relatively small, which is why Antarctica is colder than the Arctic.

Normally, the South Pole will be colder than the North Pole. The Arctic is mainly made up of oceans, which can generally absorb and store more heat, so the temperature is not too low. The Antarctic is mainly composed of continents dominated by Antarctica, and its ability to store heat is relatively weak, so the temperature will be lower than that of the Arctic.
On the earth, generally the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, the Antarctic continent is currently the highest altitude among the seven continents, it is understood that the average altitude of Antarctica is about 2,000 meters, and the temperature will drop by about 6 degrees for every 1,000 meters of altitude.
The Antarctic continent is covered by ice and snow all year round, and some of the ice on the surface is as smooth as a mirror, which will reflect the sun's radiation, and the guide will not be able to effectively retain the buried heat.
It's Antarctic cold. The temperature in the South Pole is much cooler than in the North Pole. >>>More
The reason is that Antarctica is land, and the North Pole is the ocean – the Arctic Ocean. The South Pole in winter is colder than the North Pole in winter, which is the most important reason for the temperature difference between the two levels, due to the small specific heat of the land, which warms up and cools down quickly. >>>More

Temperatures in the Antarctic are colder than in the Arctic. This is because Antarctica is a continent with a weak ability to store heat, and the huge thickness of ice gives Antarctica an average altitude of 2,350 meters, more than 1,000 meters higher than the average height of the other six continents on Earth. The heat gained in the Antarctic summer quickly radiates away, resulting in an average annual temperature in Antarctica. >>>More
