∙ 10y agoRobert Falcon Scott did not 'discover' the South Pole. The South Pole is a mark on the map at exactly 90 degrees South latitude, which does not merit discovery.
Captain Scott led two expeditions to be first to 'achieve' the pole, succeeding on the second attempt in 1911, but as the second visitor there. However, he and his companions all perished on their return journey and died from malnutrition and hypothermia in their tent on the Antarctic continent.

∙ 8y agoThe first structure built at the South Pole -- called Old Pole -- was built by the US Navy in 1957. In 1975, it was replaced, having failed due to the increasing weight of ice that formed on its roof.
The Dome -- its replacement -- lasted until 2003, when it, too, was decommissioned, having become buried under ice.
The Elevated Station -- built so that the blowing ice crystals could blow under it and no ice could build up near it, was officially dedicated in 2008.
