To see the unveiling of the pole

of the Pole Marker.

It's a ceremony, so I dressed up

... and, uh...

It's a South Pole tradition.

Once a year.

Unveiling of the Marker

that was designed the previous year

by the Winterovers.

Let's go!

The story is, this is January 1st

... and, uh...

every year, we have to mark

the new location of the axis of rotation

because we're on this large sheet of ice

that moves by about 10 meters a year.

So, that's what we're doing today.

So this is the old marker.

It's old and dirty and

- It is time for a change.

Time for a change. Enough of this one.

And I guess the new one

is around here,

about to be unveiled.

Ready?

Whoaaaa!

Nice.

Is it Jupiter?

Yeah, it's like, it looks like Jupiter, 'cause of the bands

but

Saturn rings...

I don't really understand either.

But maybe it's not to be understood.

It's nice.

Actually, it's Saturn but it looks like Jupiter.

Yeah, 'cause there's bands,

so I'm not quite sure.

- Wait, is it supposed to be Saturn though?

So as of today

the Earth is actually turning around this point.

Hey everyone!

... Uh, what was I gonna say?

Yeah, I look a little tired because

I just came back from work, and it's 3 AM.

Can't you see, the sun is over there

that means it's 3 AM.

I just came here before going to sleep

to... to show you. This is the Ceremonial Pole right here.

This is the place that doesn't actually change where we have this nice aluminized, or metalized, globe

and then you see the flags of the countries

who I think have signed the Antarctic Treaty, I'm not quite sure.
