The Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has been used to measure spectral line profiles for H I Lyα in the south polar coronal hole at projected heliocentric heights from 3.5 to 6.0 R&sun; during 1998 January 5 11. Observations from 1.5 to 2.5 R&sun; were made for comparison. The H I Lyα profile is the only one observable with UVCS above 3.5 R&sun; in coronal holes. Within this region the outflowing coronal plasma becomes nearly collisionless and the ionization balance is believed to become frozen.
