Information about the Geographic South Pole. Explains how it is defined, the marker (which must be adjusted each year due to ice movements) that identifies its location, and 'other' South Poles, i.e., the Ceremonial South Pole and the Point of Inaccessibility. Also talks about explorers to the Antarctica, land claims, the climate, how time is assigned, and the lack of flora and fauna. (Updated June 25, 2012)
