Exactly four times
Robert Falcon Scott sailed twice to Antarctica, once on the Discovery in 1901 and again on the Terra Nova in 1910.
Captain Scott and his team, during both expeditions, trekked toward the South Pole. On the second expedition, they reached the pole. His team collected geology samples, took temperature readings, measured sunrise-sunset times, logged wind speeds, and so forth, to explore the foreign and exotic environment of Antarctica.
Captain James Cook was unable to research anything in Antarctica. He did not actually reach Antarctica itself, as he could not get close enough to the continent. Both times he tried to reach the continent, he was stopped by pack ice and the solid freezing of the ship's sails.

New Zealand would roughly fit into Antarctica about 21 times New Zealand would fit into Antarctica about 51 times. Itsarea is approximately 270,500 square miles, which is less than 1/50th of the area of Antarctica.
You can travel to Antarctica generally between November and January. Travelling in Antarctica is restrictive and is generally best advised when you can get on and off the continent.
Sir Earnest Henry Shackleton reached the 'farthest south' marker of 88°23'S, or 97 geographical miles from the South Pole on his second expedition to Antarctica in 1907. Some say it was this marker that motivated Sir Robert Falcon Scott to better Shackleton's achievement, when Scott returned in 1910 for his own 'conquest of the pole'.
Since Antarctica is 'discovered' by every first-time visitor, the answer to your question is tens of thousands of times, since that's the number of people who have visited Antarctica in history.
Antarctica is about the size of USA and Mexico combined.
Generally July and August are the coldest times of year in Antarctica.
