Answer to the question: There are infinite points, all within about 1.2 miles from the south pole. The furthest from south pole is a circle, with the latitude equals (in radians)
-Cos-1(1/2πR) + 1/R Where R is the radius of the earth. If one is allowed to go more than one loops (N), we get infinite number of circles, with the latitude equals -Cos-1(1/2πNR) + 1/R, N=2, 3, ..., to infinity When N -> infinity, it is any place 1 mile north of the south pole. ** Which brings up the question: The North Pole is one place on a globe where you can walk one mile south, one mile east and one mile north and return to your point of origin. Name another. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
