Penguin and jellyfish
Just look at this photo from Antarctica by Michael Reichman. Awesome. I recommend his site Luminous Landscape. Though more for the articles about photography than for the photos.

What's the average temp there? And why don't people travel to the North pole? I'm serious. Why always down under, I don't get it?
Honestly? I never knew that. That's crazy isn't it? I got to look into that. And all those fairytales about Santa Claus and all that. You have enlightened me Eolake. Thanks.
Years ago, the submarine Nautilus crossed the North Pole submerged, underneath meters of Ice. There is interesting literature about Antarctica, as well. I especially like RE Byrd's narrations, especially his book AlONE.
Oh, people do travel to the North Pole. For example in 2006 these guys made the trip succesfully. Getting there by foot (ski) is very diffcult. In the past several people have died in the attempt.
BTW, it is only in American culture that Santa Claus lives in North Pole. Finnish folklore places his habitat to a place called Korvatunturi in Eastern Lapland.
That's right, my boy. This is why no meanie will ever be able to steal your presents: they simply can't come here!!!
Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll tell you my secret. Did you wonder how I manage to distribute all those presents in a single night? (Even though, thanks to timelines, I actually enjoy a 34-hour night in all: 10 hours + 24.) Because I'm not alone, of course! Everybody, everywhere, can help Santa Claus. And if a little more people volunteered, ALL children would receive gifts every year. Old Santa's counting on you, people. Everybody needs to pitch in to spread love and happiness. There's never too much of it.

Hey Rascal, can you help me out?
The south pole has land, the north pole doesn't.
But northernmost Scandinavia (Lapland) is very close to the pole, and I think it has more traffic than Antarctica.

Santa lives in Heaven, right next door to Baby Jesus. Even *I* know that at three!
