[postgis-users] selection of data in WGS84 lat/lon over the noth pole

[Malm Paul]

Hi list,
I would like to select data over the north pole inside a polygon of lat/lon coordinates
For selection I create a polygon from theese coordinates 

1) 80, -170
2) 80, 170
3) 75, 10
4) 75, -10

But is seems that the objects found are from around the pole instead of over the pole, it does not find any objects over 80°
Is ther a way to get around this?

Kind regards,
Paul
