SOUTH POL will be a survey of the Southern sky in optical polarized light. It
will use a newly designed polarimetric module at an 80cm Robotic Telescope.
Telescope and polarimeter will be installed at CTIO, Chile, in late 2012. The
initial goal is to cover the sky south of declination -15{\deg} in two years of
observing time, aiming at a polarimetric accuracy \lesssim 0.1% down to V=15,
with a camera covering a field of about 2.0 square degrees. SOUTH POL will
impact areas such as Cosmology, Extragalactic Astronomy, Interstellar Medium of
the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds, Star Formation, Stellar Envelopes, Stellar
explosions and Solar System, among others.
