This is all dandy and such but just where would 800 miles EAST of the south pole be? If you're directly on the south pole, any direction from there would have to be due north I would think. Just one of my idiosyncrasies! ;)

The South pole is a Geography point, which is the same as the North pole. Compasses work because of magnets. They find the magnetic north and South Poles. Due to the fact the earth is big enough it doesn't really matter unless you go to the north or south poles.
Magnetic North and Magnetic South are at different points.Conuficus likes this. -

I think this is fascinating. There are still many undiscovered forms of life down there.
One of the last true undiscovered frontiers on this planet. -
