    You’re looking at it from the South Pole, so there is no West, only North.

      Well sure, and I get that, but the map we’re looking at clearly has a W-E line marked, presumably on the prime meridian. It’s pretty westerly in that regard which seems like a pretty sensible perspective to me on how to navigate at the south pole.

      If you handed me this map and told me to go North I would go to Dronning Maug Land.

  Hey it’s just south of Orkney. Small world.
