    I’ve begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It’s there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There’s no mystery, no one asks for money, I don’t have to dress up, and there’s no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to ‘God’ are all answered at about the same 50% rate.

    Well sure, and I get that, but the map we’re looking at clearly has a W-E line marked, presumably on the prime meridian. It’s pretty westerly in that regard which seems like a pretty sensible perspective to me on how to navigate at the south pole.

    If you handed me this map and told me to go North I would go to Dronning Maud Land.
