Sorry, I didn't notice the reference to the Faulklands, just the question
about "near the south pole". 60S isn't that 'near' and UTM would be fine
if the study stays in one zone.

South Georgia, are not even 60S. I protest that this isn't that near the

well within the 80N/S of UTM. The questi
Ruben:
Near the poles, some people use the Gauss-Kruger projection method.
It will create 2 new Poles at the Earth Equator and you need to choose what
Meridian will become the new "Equator".
Then if you choose Meridian over the Malvinas, they will appear as being at
the Equator.
Good luck!
The UTM grid system only extends to 80 degrees south (and 84 north). There
is another system for polar areas, the Universal Polar Stereographic Grid
System (UPS). I've never had occassion to look at UPS so I can't say what
projection is used but it, like the UTM system, is designed to have a

using both hydroacoustics and fish density data from trawling, and of
course i want to use geostatistics for data analysis. I read in ai-geostat
