Distance between Ushuaia, Argentina and the South Pole
3918 km = 2435 miles
During our distance calculation we made two assumptions.
1) We assumed a spherical Earth as a close approximation of the true shape of the Earth (an oblate spheroid). The distance was calculated as great-circle or orthodromic distance on the surface of a sphere.
2) For each city we chose a particular point inside the city as the "city centre" and calculated the distance between these "city centres" using their coordinates. Real distances between other points inside or near these cities, for example, between airports, will differ from our calculation.

The South Pole: basic facts and figures
The South Pole is a point where imaginary Earth's axis of rotation crosses the Earth's surface in the Southern Hemisphere.
The South Pole is the southernmost place on Earth. The South Pole latitude is 90° South. The South Pole longitude is undefined, because the South Pole is a point where all the meridians meet.
For the same reason the South Pole has no time zone.
For software and devices using GPS satellite navigation system 0° West may be used as conditional South Pole longitude.
The South Pole coordinates: 90°00′00″ S
