3Type III radio bursts observed from high southern latitudes are analyzed far the first time. The continual observation of these radio bursts by Ulysses from after the Jupiter swing-by to 50 degrees S latitude argues for a wide latitudinal directivity of type III radiation. From this high latitude perspective, type III radio sources that lie in the far hemisphere of the Sun with respect to Ulysses are unambiguously resolved for the first time. Using the Ulysses direction-finding capabilities, the radio source locations in the 3-D heliospher e are derived for a radio event on 31 January 1994 when Ulysses was similar to 45 degrees S latitude. The source locations describe a spiral-like trajectory originating from the far side of the Sun. The angular radii of these radio sources are compared to angular radii that were previously derived from in-ecliptic observations.
