Day 36, Saturday, March 1 2025 - At Sea (Bellinghausen Sea)

The Ceremonial South Pole at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is marked by a red and white striped barber pole topped with a reflective sphere.

This pole is not the actual geographic South Pole, but rather a marker for photos and ceremonies, located a short distance away.

The geographic South Pole is a marker that is moved annually on January 1st to account for the movement of the ice sheet
