Norwegian Roald Amundsen led the first team to set foot in the are of the South Pole. They spent about a week there, taking navigational sightings of the sun to confirm their location using sextants and theodolites. There is no record of which of the team members was 'first'.
The North Pole lies in the Arctic, the South Pole is in the Antarctic. So it'd be impossible to reach North Pole in Antarctic, since it isn't there.
The First men to reach both Poles on foot, were Charlie Burton and Ranulph Fiennes as part of the Transglobe expedition of 1979/82.
All of Amundsen's team members were Norwegian.
