ok, so haversine distance is a thing on a sphere: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance You are a bit over a mile from the south pole (how much a of bit requires math i don't feel like doing, but is very important) You walk towards the pole, turn and walk west in an exactly 1 mile circumference circle around the pole (this is why the "bit" was important) and you walk back north to where you started. There is only one valid point on the northern hemisphere (the north pole) and a ring of points at the south pole. found the math I need! https://www.astro.virginia.edu/class/whittle/astr553/Topic16/t16_circumference.html https://www.astro.virginia.edu/class/whittle/astr553/Topic16... C = R sin(r/R) R = radius of earth aprox( 3,959) C = 1 mile solution is r+1 distance from the south pole
