It's Antarctic cold. The temperature in the South Pole is much cooler than in the North Pole.
According to the meteorological department, the average temperature in the Arctic is around minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature is only minus 70 degrees Celsius.
Around. The average temperature in Antarctica is minus 60 degrees Celsius, with a minimum temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius.
The reason why the temperature difference is so large is because of the specific heat of the two places.
Different. Specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of each gram of substance by 1 degree.
The first is the topographical difference between the Antarctic and the Arctic. Antarctica is a land area of about 14 million square kilometers surrounded by the sea.
About 98% of them are covered in snow and ice, and the average thickness of these ice sheets can reach almost 2,000 meters, which is year-round. The Arctic region is about 13.1 million square kilometers of land surrounding the sea, of which about 8.5 million square kilometers are ice area, which is only about 60% of the Antarctic ice area. Moreover, the Arctic region melts heavily in the summer, resulting in a smaller summer ice area.
Secondly, the Antarctic has a higher altitude than the North Pole. Average altitude in Antarctica.
It is 2,350 meters, of which more than 3,000 meters accounts for about 25% of the area of the Antarctic continent, and the highest is about 5,140 meters, making it the highest average altitude in the world. Nearly 2 to 3 of the Arctic is ocean, and the average elevation is only about the same as sea level. The higher the altitude, the cooler it gets, and as the saying goes, "it's not cold at the top, so the Antarctic will be cooler than the Arctic."
Finally, the Antarctic has less heat exchange than the Arctic. Due to the Southern Ocean.
There is a westerly circulation around the South Pole and a Southern Ocean circulation, and the Antarctic is both atmospheric circulation.
Or the ocean circulation is relatively closed, and the heat exchange with the middle and low latitudes is less, and the heat cannot be effectively replenished. In contrast, the Arctic region exchanges atmospheric and oceanic circulation with the middle and low latitudes more frequently, and the heat from the middle and low latitudes can be effectively transported to the Arctic through the circulation, resulting in the Arctic being warmer than the Antarctic.
A combination of reasons causes the Antarctic to be much cooler than the Arctic.

Antarctica is a bit colder.
The main reasons: 1. The Antarctic is an isolated continent, surrounded by the ocean, which is less affected by the outside world, while the Arctic itself is the ocean, and the ocean itself is higher than the heat capacity, and the temperature is higher.
2. The altitude of Antarctica is high, with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and the temperature drops every 1,000 meters.
3. The South Pole is the farthest point from the Sun in winter, while the North Pole is the farthest point from the Sun in winter.
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.
Although the North Pole is not as cold as the South Pole, most of the region is frozen year-round. The average temperature in January is -20 40 degrees, and in August it is -8 degrees. Precipitation in the Arctic is usually much higher than in the Antarctic, with annual precipitation generally ranging from 100 to 250 mm.
Wind speeds in the Arctic are much lower than in the South Pole, with an average wind speed of only 10 meters per second along the Arctic coast. <>

North Street and South Street are very cold places, giving everyone the impression that it is icy and snowy, and it is very cold all year round. But the South Pole is colder than the North Pole.
-
And the North Pole is colder than the South Pole, and the South Pole is particularly cold at this temperature.
-
Antarctica is generally colder.
-
The South Pole is colder than the North Pole.
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.
Antarctica is an ice continent surrounded by the sea, surrounded by vast Antarctic snowfields, on which strong storms blow throughout the year, and the thick ice layer does not melt all year round. Most of the solar radiation is reflected back by the snow that is permanently present in Antarctica, so the Antarctic continent is largely unable to retain the sun's radiant energy.

Is it cold in the South Pole or cold in the North Pole?

Summary. The South Pole is colder than the North Pole.
The South Pole is colder than the North Pole.
Antarctica is the last continent on Earth to be found and the only continent that has not been inhabited by humans. Antarctica's climate is drier, with annual precipitation of about 50 mm a year, and almost zero precipitation at the South Pole.
The lowest natural temperature that has been measured in Antarctica is below zero, which is currently the lowest temperature ever measured in nature.

Summary. Hello dear, Antarctic cold. The Antarctic is colder than the Arctic because Antarctica is land and the Arctic 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.
Hello dear, Antarctic cold. The Antarctic is colder than the Arctic because Antarctica is land and the Arctic is the ocean – the Arctic Ocean. Because the land is less heated, it warms up and cools down quickly, so the Antarctic is colder in winter than the North Pole in the winter season.
This is the most important reason for the temperature difference between the two stages.
Extended MaterialAntarctica, known as the Seventh Continent, is the last continent on Earth to be discovered, but it is almost uninhabited. The total area of the Antarctic continent is 13.9 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of China and the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent combined, ranking fifth among all continents in the world. The entire Antarctic continent is covered by a huge ice sheet with an average elevation of 2,350 meters, and the bridge shelter is the highest continent in the world.
There are more than 220 kinds of minerals in Antarctica. On February 9, 2020, a weather station on Moshima Island, Gyeongju, West Minster, Antarctica, recorded news of high temperatures.
Geographically and at latitude, the South Pole is at the southernmost point of the Earth, within the Antarctic Circle, and the North Pole is at the northernmost point of the Earth, within the Arctic Circle. >>>More

I think the outstanding feature of the Antarctic continent is that there are very few terrestrial organisms, most of the plants are mosses and algae, most of which are propagated by spores, and there are about 10 species of flowering plants, which are very short; Most of the animals are mollusks, crustaceans, and wingless insects. In addition, there are a large number of penguins and birds, and there are 18 species of penguins in the world, which are the lesser white-sided penguin, white-sided penguin, yellow-eyed penguin, Magellanic penguin, Peruvian penguin, Galapagos penguin, emperor penguin, king penguin, Adri-Adri penguin, Antarctic penguin, Gentoo penguin, Horne penguin, horned penguin, horned horn penguin, Cape Marcelloni penguin and straight-crowned horned penguin. There are many creatures in the sea, the famous krill is a favorite of penguins, and there are a large number of fish and mammals. >>>More
The rotation of the Earth is an axis rotation in a counterclockwise direction when observed over the North Pole and clockwise when observed over the South Pole, which is customarily called west-to-east rotation. >>>More
The average annual temperature in the Antarctic continent is minus 25 degrees. The average annual temperature in the coastal areas of Antarctica is around minus 17 20 degrees; In the inland areas, the average annual temperature is minus 40 to 50 degrees; The East Antarctic Plateau is the coldest, with an average annual temperature as low as minus 57 degrees. The lowest temperature ever observed on Earth was minus degrees Celsius in July 1983 at the Antarctic Observatory in New Zealand.
