Conxita,
On behalf of your Society please accept my most sincere
congratulations to everyone involved in this most stimulating and
worthwhile project. So now the Earth will revolve on two gnomonic
polar-(ish) axes at the South Pole and on Svalbard/Spitbergen. The
latter some 800+ miles short of the actual North Pole but as close as
terra-firma will permit perhaps.
What an achievement! I salute everyone involved.!
