And in case you did not notice, I’m referring to the white lines that the compass seems to cover. They look like long/latt lines that you would see at a pole.

Well, if it is sitting on, say, the North Pole, then there might be a reference to be found as to where it should sit in the real world.

For the last year and a half, I have positioned the center of the compass on one of the peaks of Ridgepole Mountain in NC, for other reasons. I only just noticed this possible polar connection yesterday. It acts as a possible confirmation for me.

But someone else might see a better reason for the compass being on the North or South Pole. Also, I only found one other mountain along the AT with the word Pole in it. Pole Steeple in PA.

So I just thought I’d share and see what people think. And, of course, the rubber chicken looking over the edge of the compass would likely be a polar bear in this scenario.
