Best Answer

Your answer depends on the route you take. For example, you would fly from New York City to Hawaii, then to Christchurch, New Zealand, then to McMurdo Station -- 10,638.372 nautical miles.

Note that there is no commercial air service to anywhere on Antarctica. You may be able to charter a private flight from Christchurch to McMurdo Station.

The Amundsen-Scott Station in Antarctica rests on 90 degrees South Latitude. McMurdo Station is located at 77°50' S, 166°40' E.

Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The range varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles.

Therefore, let's round up to 78 degrees for McMurdo and subtract that number from 90 degrees for the South Pole station and we get 12 degrees.

If a degree is 111.699 km 'at the poles', then, as the crow (skua, really) flies, it's about 1,340 Km or about 833 miles apart, if you agree that one kilometer equals 0.621371192 miles.
