    I asked a researcher on mastodon working at the Amundsen-Scott Station last year about how they manage navigation there and they have their own grid system over there, aligned with the prime meridian.

      They were right about that btw. If a fix wasn’t rolled out, we’d probably be living in a different world right now.

        Don't tell me this is an opportunity to apply polar coordinates - that'd be far too much of a coincidence.

        Fortunately down there they should be safe from any polar bearings.

          To be fair, you can move in any compass direction from any point on Antarctica - except for the south pole

              I feel like east and west are more pertinent directions

                    Why does this picture of Australia have North written all over it?

                                the joke is that all lines of longitude meet at the poles. So everything is north of the south pole. There doesn't exist a east, west, or south of the south pole
