Re:The largest city in each 10x10 degree latitude/longitude box by joshvm on Thursday June 25, 2020 @09:46PM (#23647903)
The South Pole is a particularly interesting case. Clearly the Pole itself is 90 South and the choice of longitude is arbitrary there. However, Amundsen-Scott station, which is a hundred odd metres away, happens to be at ~140 E (89.997553 S!) and due to the map projection it appears as if it's in a totally different place.

It would be interesting to see an interactive version with a free choice of meridians.
