		<div style="clear:both;"></div><p><strong>The South pole</strong></p>
<p>Why?<br />
<strong>Both poles are cold mainly because they get less sunlight than other latitudes.</strong> Both receive 6 months continuous darkness, and the sun only rises to a small angle from the horizon, and have to travel through more atmosphere (which reduces the intensity of the sun&#8217;s rays); additionally, due to the low angle and white ice most of the rays are reflected off the surface back into space.</p>
<p>The difference between the two is that <strong>the South pole</strong> is located on a thick sheet of ice (miles thick), which itself is on a land mass (higher elevation). In contrast, <strong>the North pole</strong> is located at sea level in the <strong>Arctic Ocean</strong>, and the body of water helps to mediate temperatures (the water basically acts as a heat reservoir).</p>
