My exact GPS coordinates here in Antarctica are 71 ° 40.433’ S 002 ° 48.700’ W… want to see where I am? Google Earth has satellite images of the SANAE IV Research Base including the nunataks and glaciers surrounding the area. Ross Hofmeyr added names and points of interest to the images, so you can see where everything is.

Once you’ve downloaded this file, you’ll need to upload it or add it to your Google Earth places, and then you can start zooming around! If you zoom out far enough, you can even see the edge of the continent… enjoy!

Very cool. I added your location to my google earth, now I can visit Antartica online
So very beautiful, the light, the place and the expanse so few are fortunate enough to experience first hand. You are our remote vision to 71 ° 40.433’ S 002 ° 48.700’ W, an x / y coordinate, a place. A place that seems to speak clearly to you.
VERY Fun!! Thanks for this, as it is very helpful to have your exact location in perspective. You truly are at the end/beginning of the Earth. Amazing!
