While doing some research into the Amundsen-Scott research facility (located 90 degrees south) I found something strange. At the precise south pole there is a sign planted which gives the elevation and acts sybolically as an "info" spot.

Apparently since the ice moves they have to move the sign every year. Theres even a silver "pole" they pound into the ice! -- Bernard Rachtmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail
