[edit] Windrose.png image

Maybe it's just my computer, but for some reason I don't seem to be able to view the Windrose.png image. All I see is a black box, both here and at the image page. If the image is not visible on all browsers, it might not be ideal to have it illustrating the article. But maybe the problem, whatever it is, can be solved?

[edit] Polar conventions

Does anyone know of any conventions for displaying a Compass Rose on a map in the (ant)arctic regions? I just saw a map of Canada being used in a Canadian High School. It looked vaguely like the map at http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/americas/canada_pol99.jpg, but at the bottom right of the info box, there was a CR declaring that up was north - however, from the CR was distinctly more Easterly than Northerly. Wouldn't a CR only work on 2D map projections where the lines of longitude didn't converge?samwaltz (talk) 19:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
