(Moved from http://code.google.com/p/wikimaps/issues/detail?id=13) For Antarctica, the normal projection used for OpenStreetMap is entirely inappropriate. Instead, when users request a map for a location at 60-90° S, use the Antarctic Polar Stereographic projection. http://nsidc.org/data/atlas/epsg_3031.html (and this is such a case where World Wind imagery and other layer types will be important)
