Admiral Robert Peary and party- including the Black exploer Matthew Henson, reached what the Admiral thought was the treasured 90 Latitude pole in l909. There is much controversy about this expedition and others, including Frederick Cook, a contemporary and rival of Peary- Cook faked a mountain expedition, so there was some cause for suspicion. It is interesting to note while a Naval Officer- and an Admiral , Peary was of the Civil Engineering Corps and never saw combat- except against nature on the polar path! There is much controversy about his explorations.
Roald Amundsen was the leader of the first group of explorers to reach the South Pole in 1911. He and his team reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott.
The first explorer to reach the south pole was roald Amundsen who was shortly followed by Robert Scott falcon. Who reached the north pole first, I have no idea.
Roald Admunsen was the first to get there in 1911.
Until explorers confirmed that the continent of Antarctica was a solid continent, maps generally terminated before showing the --unknown -- geography of the South Pole. Explorers finally set foot at the South Pole in 1911 and 1912.
Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott both explored the South Pole at the same time in 1911. Amundsen was aware of Scott's objective, but Scott was not aware that Amundsen was right behind him. Roald Amundsen got there first on 14th of December, 1911. Amundsen reported that he saw no sign of Scott. Scott reached the South Pole on 17th of January, 1912, acknowledging in his diary that Amundsen had got there a month earlier. The last members of the Scott expedition was found dead by a relief party two years later in 1913.

Explorers already have. There is a research station from the US at the south pole.

The most famous groups of explorers who set out to reach the South Pole were Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) and Roald Amundsen's Norwegian Expedition (1910-1912). Both expeditions raced to be the first to reach the South Pole, with Amundsen successfully reaching it first in December 1911. Scott's expedition tragically ended with his team perishing on the return journey.
