etelänavoina

etelänavoina is the Finnish word for "South Poles". In a geographical context, it refers to the southernmost point on Earth, which is the geographic South Pole. This point is defined by the Earth's axis of rotation and is the location where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the Earth's surface in the Southern Hemisphere. It is located on the continent of Antarctica.

The Antarctic region surrounding the geographic South Pole is a vast, ice-covered plateau. Temperatures at the South Pole are extremely cold, with average annual temperatures well below freezing. The area experiences continuous daylight during the Antarctic summer and continuous darkness during the Antarctic winter. The South Pole is a significant location for scientific research, with several research stations, including the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, operated by the United States.

The term "etelänavoina" can also be used more broadly to refer to regions in the far south, or the southernmost extremities of various entities, depending on the context. However, its primary and most common meaning is the geographical South Pole.
