Pole Position

From the letters page of today's Independent:

Sir: According to your article "British explorers recount 'agony' of Pole trek" (23 January), "the Pole of Inaccessibility lies some 870km north-east of the South Pole". Surely, in common with every other point on the Earth, the Pole of Inaccesibility lies directly north of the South Pole.

(Well spotted Andy!)
