South Pole
Situated on the continent of Antarctica, it is the site of the United States Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, which was established in 1956 and has been permanently staffed since that year. The Geographic South Pole is distinct from the South Magnetic Pole, the position of which is defined based on Earth's magnetic field. The South Pole is at the center of the Southern Hemisphere.
Mikre Beach
Mikre Beach (, ‘Mikrenski Bryag’ \'mi-kren-ski 'bryag\) is the beach extending 2.2 km on the southeast coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is bounded by Cape Conway to the southwest, the island’s ice cap to the northwest and Pazardzhik Point to the northeast, and is snow-free in summer.
Hamilton Ice Piedmont
Hamilton Ice Piedmont () is an ice piedmont, wide, to the east of Wyatt Hill, Bear Peninsula, on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–66, and was named in 1977 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Robert Hamilton, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis, who was United States Antarctic Research Program Station Scientific Leader at South Pole Station, winter party 1975.
Daniel Burton
Daniel Paul Burton (born December 4, 1963) is an American bicycle enthusiast from Eagle Mountain, Utah, and the first person to complete an expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole by bicycle. Burton began his expedition, ``The South Pole Epic '', on December 2, 2013 at Hercules Inlet and arrived at the South Pole on January 21, 2014.
Antarctica
During the Nimrod Expedition led by Ernest Shackleton in 1907, parties led by Edgeworth David became the first to climb Mount Erebus and to reach the South Magnetic Pole. Douglas Mawson, who assumed the leadership of the Magnetic Pole party on their perilous return, went on to lead several expeditions until retiring in 1931. In addition, Shackleton himself and three other members of his expedition made several firsts in December 1908 – February 1909: they were the first humans to traverse the Ross Ice Shelf, the first to traverse the Transantarctic Mountains (via the Beardmore Glacier), and the first to set foot on the South Polar Plateau. An expedition led by Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen from the ship Fram became the first to reach the geographic South Pole on 14 December 1911, using a route from the Bay of Whales and up the Axel Heiberg Glacier. One month later, the doomed Scott Expedition reached the pole.
Geological history of Earth
The most-commonly accepted theory is that these events were triggered by the onset of an ice age, in the Hirnantian faunal stage that ended the long, stable greenhouse conditions typical of the Ordovician. The ice age was probably not as long-lasting as once thought; study of oxygen isotopes in fossil brachiopods shows that it was probably no longer than 0.5 to 1.5 million years. The event was preceded by a fall in atmospheric carbon dioxide (from 7000ppm to 4400ppm) which selectively affected the shallow seas where most organisms lived. As the southern supercontinent Gondwana drifted over the South Pole, ice caps formed on it. Evidence of these ice caps have been detected in Upper Ordovician rock strata of North Africa and then-adjacent northeastern South America, which were south-polar locations at the time.
Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula
Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula (Bulgarian: Полуостров Йоан Павел II "Poluostrov Yoan Pavel II" ) is an ice-covered peninsula on the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica that is bounded by Hero Bay to the east and Barclay Bay to the west. It extends 13 km in length in north-south direction and is 8 km wide. Its north extremity is formed by the ice-free Cape Shirreff, an area visited by early 19th century sealers. The peninsula's interior is occupied by Oryahovo Heights.
Heverley Nunataks
The Heverley Nunataks () are small, relatively isolated nunataks protruding through the ice northeast of the summit of Mount Flint in the McCuddin Mountains of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–69, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Harry W. Heverley, a U.S. Navy builder who was a member of the winter party at South Pole Station in 1971, and at McMurdo Station in 1962 and 1966.
Framheim
Framheim was the name of explorer Roald Amundsen's base at the Bay of Whales on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica during his quest for the South Pole. It was used between January 1911 and February 1912.
Casablanca (film)
Dooley Wilson as Sam. He was one of the few American - born members of the cast. A drummer, he had to fake playing the piano.

Berry Spur
Berry Spur () is a mostly ice-covered spur in Antarctica, located between McDermott Glacier and Comberiate Glacier on the west side of the Royal Society Range, Victoria Land. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Russell D.
