You would need to take your daily living needs. This leads to a complex set of maths, starting with,
1, Which way are you travelling to the pole, walking, skiing, snowmobile etc.
2, How long is it going to take you to get there and back.
3, How many days emergency rations should you carry.
Now going back to 1, if you are going to walk or ski, you will be burning more calories than sitting on a snowmobile, so you would have to increase your calorie intake, this means carrying more food. More fuel to cook it and to melt ice for water.
If it is going to take you 30 days to get there, don't forget it will probably take you 30 days to get back.
Bad weather, say you are stuck in your tent for five days by bad weather, you are using fuel and food and getting nowhere, so this is where your emergency rations are helpful.
So you can see planning an Arctic or Antarctic expedition is a very complex job, you have to carry everything you think you would need and balance this against the weight you are pulling/carrying.
Don't forget there are no shops there, so anything you have forgotten or run out of, that is it, you will have to do without. Saying that, the way things are going, it probably will not be long before you see a Tesco or Wal-Mart at the South Pole.
