In South Pole, In which direction will the sun rise?

Hahahahaha. I know it, but I want a more specified answer. One of the options is In the direction of the vernal equinox...
 
If you are facing north, the sun appears to travel from right to left across the sky [counter clockwise], the opposite is true if you are facing south. Away from the poles, this path takes it across the horizon twice a day. Near the poles, it only crosses the horizon twice a year.
