What weighs two tons and floats a hundred thousand feet in the air under a saran wrap thick balloon? The Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder. Which begs the question: which way does the wind blow at the South Pole? According to Antartic Meteorologists it looks like it spins around the pole in both directions, including the Antarctic Circumpolar Trough. So that big balloon probably spun around the bottom of the world like a rubber duck circling a bathtub drain.
