Carved into the walls of the utility tunnels below the South Pole are niches that contain artworks created by Polies. This one is titled Buzz Aldrin's Tissue. Buzz visited the South Pole in 2016, but had difficulty adjusting to the altitude and had to be medivaced back to McMurdo, and on to New Zealand. Apparently Buzz sneezed into a tissue while here, which was reverently saved, and is now the centerpiece of the Buzz Aldrin Tissue shrine.
