The marker and the Pole sign.Above...two more views of the marker. It was designed by SPT winterover Kevin Zagorski (thanks for the info Kevin) and fabricated by utilities technician Luke Noel. The top photo is from 2025 winterover Sheryl Seagraves, and the bottom two photos are from Timmy Mullen who made two trips to Pole this summer as part of the South Pole Traverse (SPoT)
