Well, That Seems Self Evident


From the Wikitravel guide to the North Pole:

Most visitors to the North Pole head south next.

    “Most.”

    I guess if you were Superman you could fly straight up. And Chuck Norris could go west.

    I ADMIRE THE THOROUGHNESS OF THE WRITER IN THINKING OF THESE EDGE-CASES.

    I sense an XKCD comic in here somewhere…..

    Well, you could always freeze to death and go nowhere at all, I guess.

    Caya, tempting option.

    You could go straight down, under the ice

    You could go southwest or southeast by moving in a spiral.

    It’s BYOB as well. Must be a “dry” county.

    Straight down would still be, technically, south.

    Hey, that takes a Master of the Obvious degree to come up with stuff like that!

    It fits in with things like observing that when you find something you’ve been looking all over for, it’s (almost) always in the last place you look for it! :)

    Finally, a site with some info on Libyan tourism. You’d think the term was an oxymoron.

    No more an oxymoron than “UN Human Rights Commission, chaired by Lybia”

    Hummm… talk about a ‘polarizing’ issue…

    But I’m with some of the above posters: Why is it only “most”? Why not just take the port from the North Pole directly to Svasud Faste? To me this screams “traffic control issue”. WTB Eskimo Traffic Control (Does that include polar bears and if so, are they balanced against cartographers, globes, and the word “most”?). :D

    From the same page:

    Buy
    It is impossible to buy anything at the North Pole; you should bring everything you might need.

    You don’t say…

    Doesn’t say anything about the yellow snow under the EAT section.

    You mean Svasud Faste *wasn’t* the north pole??? ;)

    The earth’s shell moves ever so slowly, so if you sit there for a couple of hundred of years you can still go north (a little bit)

  17. #17 by Anon on July 18th, 2008

    Technically you’d still be travelling south during that time.
