     lat: The latitude (in degrees) of the pole position.  Note that
          all latitudes are negative as the axis is taken to be in the
          lower hemisphere. 

    long: The longitude (in degrees) of the pole position. 

_S_U_M_M_A_R_Y:

     The `polar' data frame has 50 rows and 2 columns.

     The data are the pole positions from a paleomagnetic study of New
     Caledonian laterites.
