How long would it take to sail from the North Pole to the South Pole?

By my reckoning it would take an awfully long time- possibly even 150-200 years. I suppose you could cheat slightly and attach some form of runners or wheels to the bottom of your boat to make it easier between the bodies of water but I think you could still get stuck on some mountainous sections for months perhaps years waiting for a strong enough breeze in the right direction. Anyway, its something that's never been attempted so good luck and don't listen to the doubters.

The answer to the question depends on
a) where you're sailing from
b) what you're sailing on
c) when in the 1800s you're sailing
Depending on these factors, the amount of time could range anywhere from 14 to 90 days.
For instance, Christopher Columbus' first voyage from Spain to the Bahamas took more than 90 days, but this was in 1492.

um... 1. Which Korea are you talking about... North Korea or South Korea? 2. When you've lived in either Korea long enough and can 'pass' as a North/South Korean, and can actually act, then I suppose you could become a North/South Korean actress.

Is there more life at the north or south pole?
The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, and is a long way away from the coastal regions where most animal life would exist. There is no food for animals at the South Pole. The North Pole is located on a floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean. Animals such as Polar Bears might be able to break through thin ice around the North Pole to get at fish. Potentially, there would be more life at the North pole.

Where does the earth's axis begin and end?
I believe this is correct: Theoretically, the axis is infinitely long, extending into space toward the north from the north pole, and toward the south from the south pole. When you reach the north pole, that is not the farthest north that you can travel; if you are able to go up, you will continue going north.
Is Argentina closer to the north or south pole?
Argentina, like Chile, is very long north-to-south, and extends from about 20° S to about 55° S latitude. So northern Argentina is closer by far to the equator, central Argentina is about midway, and southern Argentina is closer to the south pole.

How long could a person stand outside at the North or South Pole before getting frostbite?
This answer assumes that you're standing outside at each pole in your Florida best, with no protection from the extreme cold. The South Pole is about 30 degrees F colder than the North Pole. At the South Pole, hypothermia would set in during the first hour, with frost bite occurring in about 10 minutes. At the North Pole , hypothermia would take longer, and frost bite would occur later. In both situations, you could ultimately die unless you returned to shelter once frost bite occurred.
