[OSM-talk] South Pole?

[Peter]

The Mapnik layer cannot show the South Pole at all. The projection
does get cut off at 85 degrees, no mattre what.
You could go and render your own maps with a different projection, but
the Mapnik layer at osm.org probably will keep this way.

Maybe there should be something in osm2pgsql's default.style to fix
this. but I'm not a devver...
