No. If you fly due south, you will not reach the north pole. Though you may start your journey pointing due south, once you fly past the south pole, assuming that you did not change direction, you would begin flying north (because the Earth is round). While you would eventually reach the north pole, you would not be flying due south when you did.
What winds blow south from the north pole curve to and why?
Everywhere is south from the north pole. Due to the rotation of the earth the majority of the winds follow the weather from west to east. The further south from the north pole, many other factors come into play that have a direct impact on the direction of the winds due to changes in the earth's profile, the flora, the variation of the surface temperatures, etc..

Where does the earth's axis begin and end?
I believe this is correct: Theoretically, the axis is infinitely long, extending into space toward the north from the north pole, and toward the south from the south pole. When you reach the north pole, that is not the farthest north that you can travel; if you are able to go up, you will continue going north.
What direction would you travel from South America to Antarctica?
Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach anywhere by going either direction from anywhere. But the trip is usually shorter in one direction than in the other. From the Prime Meridian, the trip to North America or South America is shorter if you head out going toward the west.
