Geographic South Pole

The actual South Pole and the calm, understated quotes of the first two men to get there. Strangely the geographic South Pole is also marked with the U.S. flag. Strange as whilst the large base nearby is American nobody owns the pole. If you would like to write to the Antarctic treaty secretary to raise this issue go to: http://www.ats.aq
