Where polar is more cold, north or south?


South poles, with average temperatures around minus 49 degrees centigrade. North Pole in the average temperatures are relatively tame, which is minus 29 degrees centigrade.

Indeed, continental Antarctica, with ice and snow spread over a large land mass, while lump arctic ice that float on the surface of a small arctic Sea. South Pole itself has an altitude of about 3700 meters above the sea surface water, and air in the higher always better cold. Moreover, the surface of the ice and snow is much greater in the south polar radiate heat more quickly once the sun into the contest.

However, there are other factors that make the water does not become hot or cold as easy in the land. that the temperatures in the polar north has never reached the point extremes.

Keep in mind: the north pole is much warmer than the south pole.
