A sequência de artigos na Economist desta semana por um enviado ao polo sul vale mesmo a pena ler!
_____A modest metal post sits next to a sign marking the location of the geographical South Pole, the exact point through which the Earth’s axis of rotation passes. I look off to the right to see a series of older posts. The position of the geographical Pole is fixed, of course, but the ice sheet is actually flowing and sliding in a slow march to the sea, carrying the marker nine meters from the actual geographical Pole each year. Every January 1st, the station holds a ceremony to put a new marker at the true location.
