This makes things like navigation very straightforward as all compasses point to (roughly) the north pole.</p>...https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/252385Desert poles but arctic equators; trying to find out if specific way is possibleRugiewithttps://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/users/437722019-04-28T22:30:27Z2019-07-17T18:22:03Z<p>I'm trying to create a planet with a hot desert north and south pole but a cold equator. Is this possible? and if so how?

Some (probably misguided) ecoactivists think it would be a good idea to safeguard certain indigenous species of the North Polar region (especially mammal...https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/240481Sea of Fire in Polar Regionsv1ct1m0https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/users/421792018-03-26T16:24:19Z2018-03-27T09:40:23Z<p>Would it be possible to have a cold and remote polar region if the oceans are made of fire? By that, I mean that in the place of water, there exists lava.</p>
