    You are right. Sorry about that. I have noticed that some gigapans' geocoding has been broken by the gigapan system, and in the little map you get on this page, you can't see any geographical features no matter how much you zoom out.

    This photograph still seems to be Geocoded to very, very close to the South Pole. GoogleEarth should take you to the Antarctic Plateau.

    Great Photo! One of the interesting things about this project was that the electric tools literally stop working in the cold.

Also, electrical extension cords become stiff when frozen and are almost completely unflexible. Nathan aka: freezedriedengineer, 2009 Winterover
