The first trip to the south pole was on Dec 1911. It was tripped by a Norwegian by name Roald Amuldsen who lived from 1872 to 1928. He successfully tripped Antarctica and he was the first man to return back home safely while other explorers would either die in Antarctica or way back home. Hope this helps.

Which map shows the most accurate relative Size of Antarctica the white region on each map why?

The map that shows the most accurate relative size of Antarctica is the Peters Projection map. This map emphasizes area, making regions near the poles, like Antarctica, appear larger relative to their actual size on a traditional Mercator map, which distorts land masses near the poles. The white region on each map indicates the icy expanse of Antarctica, and the Peters Projection provides a more truthful representation of its true scale compared to other projections.

Does Antarctica bigger on the globe or world map?

Generally, Antarctica is not portrayed adequately on non-polar centric maps and globes. Practically, a globe will give you a more accurate perception of Antarctica's size. When you look at a map, find the key and locate the highest number of latitude on the map, both north and south, and you will discover that the latitude numbers rarely reach 90, which is the location of both poles.
