The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station

I feel that this in and of itself is a fixture to be admired. One that resides upon the highest, driest, and coldest continent on earth, the very bottom of the planet; one that marks an elusive destination and goal that was not able to even be reached until the early 1900’s and carries with it the suffering and the loss of life of several explorers; and one that is at a place that is not only off the beaten path but literally ‘miles from nowhere’... In fact, no other urinal in the world or even space can compete with the efforts and loss of life that went into [this fixture’s] eventual permanence at the South Pole. What it may lack in beauty it more that makes up for in dignity.
