From the South Pole to the nearest point of the Ross Ice Shelf would be a little less than 400 km.
The South Pole sits on Antarctica's ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent. The Ross Ice Shelf may be the closest to the South Pole, even though it is securely attached to the ice sheet and its connecting boundary is imprecise.
No, he died about 700Km north of the South Pole, 11 miles from One Ton Depot on the Ross Ice Shelf.
Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen took different routes to reach the South Pole. Scott's team approached from the Ross Ice Shelf up the Beardmore Glacier, while Amundsen's team approached from the Bay of Whales on the Ross Ice Shelf. Amundsen's route was ultimately more successful, as he reached the South Pole first in December 1911.
It is the Ross sea and the Ross ice shelf.You're welcome.
Yes, Robert Falcon Scott died on his return journey from the South Pole. His body, along with those of his companions, was found in a tent on the Ross Ice Shelf in 1912, after they had perished from exhaustion, extreme cold, and starvation.

Captain Scott didn't 'make it home': he died on his return trek from the South Pole on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
The Ross Ice Shelf is located in Antarctica.
The Ross ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf connected to the Antarctic continent, that is about the size of France. The ocean under the shelf has never been explored.
