[OpenLayers-Users] Antartica region problem

[Andrew Bailey]

hello there,

apologies if i've posted this several times today, i seem to have some
problems with nabble.

I'm very much a geoserver/openlayers newbie but i've cobbled together a
basic map showing blue marble imagery of the antartic region. The
problem i have can be best described by the attached image - a radial
section from the pole is not being displayed followed by a rectangluar
section on the right hand side. The radial chunk missing i would have
thought relates to the extent of my coverage stored in geoserver but it
looks good - -180 to 180 on X and -48 to -90 on Y. I have no idea what
would be causing the straight rectangular gap in the image. Image here:

I would appreciate any pointers to fixing this. As i say, i've only been
using geoserver and openlayers for a day now. Before then i was happily
doing unprojected google map code so this is my first WMS trial.

WMS is in EPSG:4030 but openlayers is projecting in EPSG:3031. I've used
the bounds as described by nsdic.org: -12400000,-12400000,        
12400000,12400000.

Here is the native SRS WKT from geoserver,  if relevant:  
* Native Spatial Reference System for Coverage: Generate Envelope after
setting the property.
Native SRS WKT: GEOGCS["Unknown datum based upon the WGS 84 ellipsoid",
DATUM["Not specified (based on WGS 84 ellipsoid)", SPHEROID["WGS 84",
6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6030"]], PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]], UNIT["degree", 0.017453292519943295],
AXIS["Geodetic longitude", EAST], AXIS["Geodetic latitude", NORTH],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4030"]]
