Ah, yes--Mick and the circles. That's right. Start at (1 + 1.5 Pi) miles North of the South Pole--the latitudinal circle that is 1.5 Pi miles North of the South Pole has a one mile circumference. (It also turns out that a 1/2 mile circumference circle, or a 1/4 mile cirle, etc. would also work.)

Anyhow, the Bear Grylls photo was a pretty good answer, really.
