	Virtual tour of the Pole.
		Jump ahead to the imagemap of the South Pole Station.
		The new station is about 350 meters from the true Geographic South Pole, (learn more about this on the poles page) and is drifting toward the pole at about 10 meters/year.
		Temperatures -- The average annual temperature at the South Pole is -50 degrees C and generally ranges between -21 degrees C in the summer and -78 degrees C in the winter.

		At the South Pole, the sun rises and sets based on seasons rather than days as it does in mid-latitudes; hence the famous polar six months of daylight and six months of darkness.
		The South Pole Station webcam is mounted on the Atmospheric Research Observatory (ARO) and focuses on different areas of the station in order to allow USAP participants, scientists from around the world, and the general public to view activity and geophysical rarities at the South Pole.
		South Pole Station sits at the Earth's axis, atop a constantly shifting continental ice sheet nearly two miles thick.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: New settlement planned at south pole — of the moon
		The south pole in particular is constantly bathed in light and would be an ideal place to collect solar power, plus the site has possible resources to mine nearby, Cooke said.
		It seems appropriate that NASA is now aiming for the lunar south pole because agency Administrator Michael Griffin is fond of telling people that one model for lunar exploration and development is what has happened on Antarctica.
		While the Earth's South Pole was first visited in the early 20th century, it wasn't until the 1950s that researchers returned and decades later before they had established permanent, year-round settlements.

		At the center of the cauldron of storms spinning around the south pole is the south pole itself, which literally appears to be the eye of this vast polar storm system.
		The individual storms surrounding the pole are seen as dark "leopard spots" in the thermal image (red) taken at a wavelength of 5,000 nanometers, some seven times the wavelength of light visible to the human eye.
		The large number of dark, circular leopard spots at the south pole seen at 5,000 nanometer wavelength, and their correlation with the features seen in sunlight at 2,800 nanometer wavelength, indicates that convective activity extending over dozens of kilometers in altitude is surprisingly rampant in the south polar region.

		The geographical South Pole (90 degrees South) is labeled at the bottom of the image, and there are two other parts of the station not shown; the clean air sector and the dark sector.
		This pole is at 90 degrees South Latitude, and is one of the two points on the earths surface where all of the lines of longitude meet.
		The experiments done at the South Pole are very diverse, and range from using the polar plateau as a platform to look into space, to looking at the air and environment around the South Pole, to using the ice sheet as a collection tool (for meteorites, sub-atomic particles, or transmission of earthquake waves).

		One ACTUAL pole marker, the rod with the brass head, and one "ceremonial" pole marker, which is in a random spot somewhere near the station.
		But because you are at the south pole, and the air is undergoing some strange geophysical effects, it usually feels like you're breathing air at 12,000 feet, which is to say, unless you're Nepalese, you're suffocating.
		It is most likely the pole gift shop did not provide a t-shirt or souvenir key-chain one of these adventurers found adequate reward for their 1600 mile round-trip trek, and he or she grabbed the pole on their way north.

	Artemis Project: Ice at the Lunar South Pole
		There is no "lake" of water ice at the lunar south pole Only a small portion of the umbra surrounding the lunar south pole is estimated to be composed of ices.
		Although most of the region surrounding the lunar south pole is covered by shadow, a small region (maybe tens of square kilometers in area) directly on top of the lunar south pole is not in the umbra (the so-called Mt. Clementine).
		Although it's an indication of possible water ice on the lunar south pole, the evidence is far from conclusive (we still don't have spectra of the lunar south pole) and the water ice, if it exists, is not waiting in a readily usable form.

		Pole engineers have finished crunching data collected over the previous winter, and they've discovered that the half-built South Pole station - at this point a colossal steel and wood frame partially enclosed with siding and insulation - is settling into the snowpack at a rate nearly four times faster than originally predicted.
		The South Pole's new Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (Amanda) - a system that scans the ice cap, looking for the tiny subatomic particles as they pass through the planet - is already the largest anywhere.

	South Pole marker
		The facility, the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory, houses the South Pole Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (SPIFI), a Cornell-owned instrument for observing star-forming regions of nearby galaxies.
		Now he is a member of the South Pole "winter-over" crew -- an elite group of 86 hardy souls representing a wide range of specific trades who occupy the station during the eight-month-long Antarctic winter, from mid-February through late October, when extreme weather prohibits any flights into or out of the area.
		The marker will be fabricated at the South Pole over the next few months by Parshley and Allan Day, the station's machinist, who estimates that it will take 60 to 70 hours in total.

	The Antarctic Sun: Pole marker
		A new marker is placed each year because the bedrock at the South Pole is covered by a glacial ice sheet nearly two miles thick that is sliding downhill toward the Weddell Sea at the rate of roughly an inch a day.
		A sign identifying the marker as the geographical South Pole and featuring famous quotes by historic explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott was moved by surveyors Jack Giacalone and Kurt Skoog, who performed some of the preparatory work, including digging the holes for the sign the day before the ceremony.

		The South Pole generally shifts about to feet each year, he said, so he calculated the location where the pole would have been when Norwegian Roald Amundsen became the first person to reach it on December 14, 1911.
		To be the first to reach the South Pole, Amundsen lived for about one and a half years in Antarctica and traveled about 700 miles by dogsled to get there.

		The University of Illinois Rayleigh/Na lidar was first installed at the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station in 1989 to measure the perturbations in Na and atmospheric density, aerosols, and polar stratospheric clouds.
		The atmospheric temperature from 30 to 55 km altitudes was derived from the measured relative atmospheric density profiles.
		It measures Na density profiles at 589 nm and aerosols scattering at 1064 nm and 532 nm as well as the orthogonal polarization components of the backscattered signal at 532 nm.

	South Pole 'cyberterrorist' hack wasn't the first
		On May 3rd, network administrators for U.S. Antarctic Program and the South Pole Station received an anonymous e-mail with the subject line "South Pole Station Servers HACKED." "This is a message from earth to earth, do you copy?," the e-mail began.
		The most dramatic element of the South Pole story was absent from the FBI's first public release on the attack in July of last year.
		But last month Attorney General John Ashcroft showed less reticence in describing the South Pole hacks as "a cyber-terrorist threat" in a 29-page Justice Department report meant to highlight, through dozens of examples, the importance of the controversial USA Patriot Act, which he claimed had aided agents tracking the alleged cyber terrorists' e-mail.
