Although the ground at the South Pole is close to sea level, the thick ice at that location raises the station to an altitude of 9,300 feet (2,835 meters). And because the earth's rotation causes the atmosphere to thin out at the poles, the air pressure is more like at 11,000 feet.ntarctica is (for obvious reasons) the least-visited continent, and the South Pole is (because it is not accessible by sea) the least-visited site in Antarctica that is nominally open to tourism. Most expeditions take place in November thru January, during the Antarctic summer/day.
When the North Pole is pointed toward the sun, summer is produced in the northern hemisphere; the southern hemisphere has winter. When the South Pole is pointed toward the sun, the southern hemisphere receives the most heat and has summer. The effectiveness of the sunâs rays is one reason summer is warmer than winter. A second reason is that the days are longer. While the sun is shining, the land and air heat up.
