South Pole

The South Pole is located at 90° South. It is a single dot in Antarctica where all longitudes overlap at once.

The South Pole is not a graticule in the traditional sense, since it is impossible for a geohash to fall on the latitude 90° South + offset, unless this offset is exactly zero, since nothing can be further south than the South Pole.

In accordance with the Algorithm, there is a non-zero chance for the offset being zero. This to happen, the first sixteen digits of the MD5 Hash all have to be zero. The chances for this are 16¹⁶, and with two new values per day this means it will happen 25 times every 10¹⁵ years, which is a lot more than the current age of the universe.

Should a geohash ever fall on the South Pole, it would not just be one, but 360 geohashes all in the same spot, since all longitudes overlap here. The Globalhash would also fall on the South Pole, forming a Globalhash-Geohash Colocation. On this day the same number of geohashes would be located at the North Pole too, minus the Globalhash.

The South Pole borders 360 graticules to the North. Some of them have a page on this wiki. Those are:
