If you know the extent of the image you could use OpenLayers.Layer.Image(), for example:

var your_image = new OpenLayers.Layer.Image(
        'foo',
        'http://dashavoo.com/map.png',
        new OpenLayers.Bounds( ... ),
        new OpenLayers.Size(600, 600)
);

map.addLayer(your_image);

Thanks Julien, although if possible I would like to avoid using the
server and serve a static image of the area, but with the ability to
deal with user interactions (specifically a drawn polygon) with the
correct co-ordinates.

If your WMS server is well configured, the following should work:

var your_layer= new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
        "layer_name",
          "http://your.wms.server/";, {
                        'layers' : 'layer_name',
                  'transparent' : true,
                  'isBaseLayer' : false
           });
your_map.addLayer(your_layer);

You should probably use EPSG:3031 as projection

FYI I use something like this on the server side (MapServer):

      LAYER
          NAME "antarctic"
          TYPE RASTER
          STATUS ON
          DATA antarctica_sthn_ocean.tiff
          PROJECTION
              "init=epsg:3031"
          END
          METADATA
              "wms_title" "ant"
          END
      END
