Letter: Letters : Blow ye winds

Published 2 August 1997

From Tony Sumner

Reading

Feedback (12 July) asks how you get any other than a southerly wind at the
North Pole.

Well, if the wind is coming from the South it is also going South so you have
both South winds and North winds. The only winds you don’t get at the pole are
East and West.
