Vergleiche die Abbildung der Suedhalbkugel mit dem Kreis 78° 10'. Dieser Halbkugelkreis ist die grösste Kreisflächegrenze "riesigen Eiswand") der Antarktis. Unterteilt man den 90° bis zum 78° in 12 Gradflächenkreise, dann ergibt sich fuer den Suedpol 90 Grad 0 Quadratkilometerfläche und 0 Quadratkilometerkreisumfang und fuer den

• 78 Grad (6 378 / 90) * 12 = 850.4 Kilometer Kilometerhöhenunterschied (d) zwischen Nordpol und dem 78 Grad Quadratkilometerkreis.
