R4's trip to Teniente Marsh (no relation) was 62deg South. I also did the Elmendorf (62 N) - Bardufoss (69 N) gyro leg after an exercise in Alaska. I was likewise unsure we went directly over the pole but as near as. There was no "needle swing" overhead because the mag. pole is 300 miles away and your compass heading on gyro is whatever you want it to be. I get lost with Tom Tom now.
