The current weather at the South pole is incredibly cold with a Wind Chill of -94° C

As the South pole is now slightly less than at right angles to the central Sun so the Sun sweeps out the widest circle close to the horizon moving from right to left (at the North pole it is from left to right).
As the North pole continues to turn towards the central Sun as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth, the observed motion of the Sun becomes further above the horizon and moves in smaller circles. Away from the South pole (yet near it) and
towards lower latitudes, the observed motion of the Sun becomes more complex as the two surface rotations mix.
As an aside, it is dismaying to see the contributions to google groups disappear as many of the astronomical principles were developed over years in some case. Astronomy being a visual exercise, the best way to transmit an innovation or insight was
through imaging, graphics and so on and therefore much more productive than paper publications. The loss of these posts are both personal and dismaying as they cover 25 years in this newsgroup.
