Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. For men, anemia is typically defined as hemoglobin level of less than 13.5 gram/100 ml and in women as hemoglobin of less than 12.0 gram/100 ml. Anemia is caused by either a decrease in production of red blood cells or hemoglobin, or an increase in loss (usually due to bleeding) or destruction of red blood cells.
At an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,300 feet), South Pole has an average monthly temperature in the austral summer of -28Â°C (-18Â°F); in the austral winter, the average monthly temperature is -60Â°C (-76Â°F).
The average temperature at the South Pole was a bone-chilling minus 47.9 degrees Celsius (minus 54.2 Fahrenheit) in 2009. It tied with 2002 for the warmest year on record since 1957, when temperature records began at South Pole.he year 2009 was the second warmest on record for the planet in the last 130 years and the warmest for the southern hemisphere, according to an analysis of global surface temperatures by NASA scientists released earlier this year.
