<h2>
Pole Positions of New Caledonian Laterites
</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>


<p>The <code>polar</code> data frame has 50 rows and 2 columns.
</p>
<p>The data are the pole positions from a paleomagnetic study of New Caledonian
laterites.
</p>


<h3>Usage</h3>

<h3>Format</h3>


<p>This data frame contains the following columns:
</p>

<dl>
<dt><code>lat</code></dt><dd>
<p>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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>long</code></dt><dd>
<p>The longitude (in degrees) of the pole position.
