Global extremity

Answer:

POLE

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Global extremity" hints at the farthest points on Earth, which are the North and South Poles. The word "extremity" here plays double duty—it can mean both a distant edge (like the ends of the planet) and a literal body part, but in this case, it’s geographic. The answer is simply "POLE," the short, common term for those icy endpoints.
