If you were standing on the South Pole at the time of the autumnal equinox, where would you expect the Sun to be at midday?

Explanation:

At the autumnal equinox.

At the equinox. , duration of day and night are equal all over the globe . It happens because sun is just over the equator , going towards the south .

After 6 months of night , day starts breaking in southern hemisphere. For next 6 months there is likely to be day in the south pole.

The sun will be seen near the horizon moving on a circular path all through the day parallel to the horizon without setting.

i think the answer to your question is: settlement of the interior and economic growth. ( ^_^)／
