Every January 1, there is a bit of a celebration at the South Pole, marking the new Geographical South Pole with a new marker. The actual location on the earth does not change, but as the ice shifts and slides (20-30 feet per year) over the continent, the "spot" where the South Pole actually exists on the snow changes. There is a competition each year to design the new marker and the design that won for the 2008 year was produced by my sister, Laura, while she was wintering this past year. While, I was not able to attend this fun gathering, I found some photos on the internet. Doesn't it look beautiful under the super-UV-intensive South Pole sun?Good work, Laura!
