David,
Like you I have been musing on celestial navigation at the poles. What happens if you are at the pole, your tracks have been covered in a blizzard and your watch has stopped? How do you the direction back to the supply dump? I guess you'd have to hope that your magnetic compass can point the way,
Regards,
Robin
