Mashallah. It will be so good to see the Pakistani flag fly alongside the flag of India, and the other countries at the South Pole.

Namira to hoist flag at South Pole
ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Muhammadmian Soomro on Monday presented Pakistan’s national flag to Namira Salim, a renowned artist and future astronaut, to be hoisted at the South Pole. She will reach there in the second week of January 2008 as a member of an international expedition team.
Soomro, in a meeting with Namira, said that Pakistani youth had great potential to excel in different fields bringing laurels to the country. He said hoisting of Pakistani flag at the South Pole that too by a woman, would reflect a positive image of Pakistan as a peace-loving and progressive country. Earlier, Namira told the prime minister that she was going to be part of an expedition team, which will leave next week for the South Pole from Brazil. At the base camp near the South Pole, she said, the team will receive training for five days. She said it was a privilege for her to be the first Pakistani to go to the North and South poles. Namira will also be the first Pakistani to go to space on Virgin Atlantic spaceflight at the end of next year
