Archie Comics
When Dr. Eggman trapped Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends within his virtual game world at his base, he hid on the South Pole to ensure he did not get blown to the moon with them. While waiting there for his trap to spring, Eggman worked on tweaking Emerl.

Some time later, a meteorite containing a Chaos Emerald landed on the South Pole. As part of a competition, Sonic and his friends raced to the South Pole see who would get the meteorite back to the Thorndyke Mansion first. Upon arriving, they retrieved the rock before racing back home.
