[gdal-dev] is Antarctic Polar Stereographic (EPSG:3031) properly handled by GDAL?

[Daniele Romagnoli]

Hi list,
I'm working on a geotiff image which is projected as EPSG:3031 (Antarctic
Polar Stereographic).
When running the last fwtools's gdalinfo, I get the following:

Coordinate System is:
PROJCS["WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","3031"]]

It seems that the projection part is missing (taking a look here:
http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3031/prettywkt/)
Also trying to run a gdal_translate specifying -a_srs EPSG:3031 the
projection definition of the newly created tiff is still missing.
Does anyone has additional information on that topic?

Thank you very much.
Regards,
Daniele
