Captain Scott set off for the South Pole on October 24, 1911.
Robert Scott left on his second expedition to the South Pole on November 1, 1910.
Robert Scott died on 29 March 1912. March 29th is given as the date of his death as that is the last entry in his journal. Nobody knows for sure, but he could have lasted longer, but was too weak to make any more entries.
Robert Falcon Scott and his team reached Antarctica on January 4, 1902, during his first expedition known as the Discovery Expedition. They landed at McMurdo Sound, where they established a base for scientific research and exploration. This expedition laid the groundwork for future Antarctic exploration, including Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole in 1911.
It's important for the International Date Line to run through the Pacific Ocean to avoid splitting apart major land masses and to minimize disruptions in international communication and travel. This alignment helps maintain consistent time zones and prevents confusion about dates and days when crossing the line.
Yes, there is gravity at the International Date Line, just as there is everywhere on Earth. The International Date Line is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, primarily along the 180° longitude, and it affects time zones rather than physical properties like gravity. Gravity varies slightly across the Earth due to factors such as altitude and the Earth's shape, but it remains present at the Date Line, similar to other locations on the planet.
Captain Scott was leading an expedition to the South Pole on that date.
Captain Scott didn't 'make it home': he died on his return trek from the South Pole on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
Robert Scott left on his second expedition to the South Pole on November 1, 1910.
Through the Pacific Ocean, and between the north pole and the south pole.
You're thinking of the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian.

The distance is zero. The north pole is one end of the International Dateline. The south pole is the other end.
