Question

An old riddle runs as follows.  An explorer walks one mile due south, turns and walks one mile due east, turns again and walks one mile due north.  He finds himself back where he started.  He shoots a bear.  What color is the bear? The time-honored answer is: "White," because the explorer musty have started at the North Pole.  But not long ago someone made the discovery that the North Pole is not the only starting point that satisfies the given conditions!  Where else can someone walk a mile south, a mile, east, a mile north and find himself back at his original location?
