I beleive Rav Moshe Feinstein is of the opinion that a line is drawn downward
from the point you're standing downward to below the arctic circle. Unless you
are standing at the exact loacation of the pole, and are point sized 
(not mentally) you should have no problem.

Rav Ya'akov Kamenetzky holds that in such a position, one should practice
according to Jerusalem Time.
