Argentina

This military leader is famous for having marched an army that included elephants over the Alps and into Italy to take on the mighty Romans in 218 B.C.

Bonus points if you can say which civilization this leader was from.

Hannibal, a general of carthage. The country closest to the south pole is south africa. Edit, I need to stop being so trusting of friends and their info, just double checked the south africa thing and wiki answers says its actually chile so cgm you got that one . This is good stuff since I'm done with school and don't exercise that tiny muscle much anymore,lol. Whom do the Romans trace their ancestry to mythicaly, not romus and remus but what people do they trace them to and what prince in particular.

Looks like it's your turn to ask another question, since CGM and I were on the wrong continent.

[armin]

You're right about Hannibal and Carthage, but I have my doubts about South Africa. If you look on a map of the world, it sure looks like South America extends further south than Africa.

Damn I went and checked and you are right again, Argentina has the southernmost city, my friend just got back from a trip down there Ushuaia. But Chile physically extends further south.
