A predefined Crs that represents WGS84 with Universal Polar Stereographic for the south pole.
Remarks
The EPSG name is "WGS 84 / UPS South (E,N)", with code 5042 (the code 32761 is used for a left-handed variant).
This Crs is based on WGS84 with the Universal Polar Stereographic projection for the South pole. As a complement to the UTM zones, it is used South of 80° S. The EPSG gives a larger area of use: south of 60° S. In fact, the Crs can be used for the entire south hemisphere, and a bit further north as well. However, to be sure of positive coordinates, you must stay south of about 72° S, as the map below shows.
