The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles, including the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line.

At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge, while at the South Pole, all lines of latitude converge. Additionally, both poles experience six months of continuous daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
No they don't.
Longitude are the ones that go north-south, and latitude are the ones that go east-west.
Remember: latitude - Flatitude
The Earth has only one of each. They're located as far apart
as it's possible to get on Earth, and they do not meet.
Nothing lives on the surface at either pole. The North Pole is located in the Arctic Sea, so there are probably fish. Polar bears are almost never found anywhere near the pole.
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
The north and south poles are the point where all lines of longitude meet and therefore cannot have a longitudinal coordinate. They are also the maximum angular distance from the equator, from which latitude is measured.
The lines that run north to south come together at the North and South Poles. The North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, while the South Pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude. These points represent the earth's axis of rotation.
No, longitude lines are parallel lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are spaced evenly apart. They do not converge or meet.
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
