Yes, the South Pole can melt, primarily due to climate change and rising global temperatures. While the Antarctic ice sheet is massive and its complete melting would take a long time, localized melting can occur, particularly in coastal areas and during warmer seasons. Additionally, changes in ocean currents and temperatures can contribute to the melting of ice shelves surrounding Antarctica. However, the South Pole itself, being at the highest point in Antarctica, is less susceptible to melting compared to lower-lying regions.
