Scientific paper

A South Polar location for the monitoring of episodic or weak periodic emissions of ultrahigh-energy gamma rays from X-ray binaries is presently suggested to be capable of viewing with only very slowly varying attenuation conditions; this, in conjunction with the high altitude involved, will result in high particle counts. The large concentrations of X-ray sources at southern declinations is an additional attraction. Air shower arrays have been efficiently operated in the hostile Antarctic environment.
