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.

Because it is the highest mountain of Antarctica
Every continent on earth is north of Antarctica. Australia is one continent that is north of Antarctica.
Antarctica is the continent farthest south on a map. It is located at the South Pole and is mostly covered in ice.
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.
