Are there high and low tides at the north and south poles?

Best Answers

The South Pole is on land, so there is no tide there. But there are tides all around the Antarctica to a greater or lesser extent, although I do not know the extent. read more

Tides aren't observed at the poles because at the North Pole, it is all ice and (so far) doesn't melt, and at the South Pole it is snow-covered land, and land isn't observably affected by tides. You need to be somewhere where there is large amounts of liquid water for tides to be apparent. read more
