I am rather disappointed to learn that there isn't an actual pole sticking out of the earth at the South pole to mark the spot. I wonder if there is one at the North pole? It would be really neat to drop an equatorial dial plate over it and create an instant sundial, even if it would only work for six month in each year - one at each pole needed! Who'll volunteer to make the expedition?
