[edit] Astronomical seeing at Dome C

> Can someone please verify the accuracy of the Astronomy section? Yes, it is correct. New developments coming up soon.

BTW, the panoramic image illustrating the article is mine. I have not been asked. It's Okay with me, but I'd appreciate a proper attribution and a link to the originating page http://www.gdargaud.net/Antarctica/WinterDCe.html (PS: I'm not a wikipedia editor, so I won't do it myself)

[edit] How far from the south pole?

The data saying how far inland it is is good, but how far is this base from the South Pole? I followed the co-ordinates link, but that took me to the Mercator projection map used at Google Maps, so that was no good for the Antarctic. Carcharoth 12:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The data from this PDF (section 2) states that it's about 1670 km from the pole. Joyous! | Talk 14:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
