The Queen of the South will stand up against the people

"There's a storm coming in."
"From what direction?"
"The North."

In this inaugural post on
Extreme Points of the World, we visit the Royal Domain of the Penguin. The first image is of the barbershop Ceremonial South Pole. Below that is pictured the Geographical South Pole, which is located at 90° South, a few hundred feet from its photogenic cousin. The real pole (GSP) is constantly moving as the snow and ice shift around. Its exact position is remeasured every year and a new placemarker is posted on 1 January.

V-man, you're a legend. This is the most fun I've had since the Bourbon & Beefsteak.
