* Longitude for MC #3 is "your choice" since all longitude lines converge at the pole. The given 172.6000 E is borrowed from New Zealand because logistics operations for the South Pole Station come through there.

** Latitude and longitude for MC #8 are not permanent. Instead they change because this location is on the drifting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
