Correct Answer: High altitude
Solution : The correct option is High altitude.
The South Pole, situated in the elevated Antarctic Continent at 2,500m, is colder due to the temperature decreasing with altitude. Conversely, the North Pole in the Arctic region has a thinner ice layer, allowing warmer currents to pass through, contributing to relatively milder temperatures compared to the South Pole.
