The geographic South Pole is located between the skiway and the station. Nearly parallel to the skiway is a similar, dimmer band - this is likely the old skiway used to support the earlier station. There are good reasons to believe that many of the bright targets between the two bands are reflections from the old stations now buried under 10 metres of snow. This region was first mapped during the late 1940's as part of Operation High Jump which included participation by Admiral Byrd. The image shows a portion of the Princess Ragnhild Coast.
Ice flows around a central island causing cavernous rifts to form.
One of the rifts nearly cuts through a 30 km long slab of ice shelf which, eventually will form a tabular iceberg of the kind characteristic of Antarctica.
