The '''[[South Pole]]''', also known as the '''Geographic South Pole''' or '''Terrestrial South Pole''', is one of the two points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface. It is the southernmost point on the surface of the Earth and lies in [[Antarctica]] on the opposite side of the Earth from the North Pole. The South Pole is both the southernmost and easternmost point of [[Westarctica]].
His Grace, the '''[[Duke of the Bear Peninsula]]''', '''C Jordan Farmer''', commonly known as '''Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula''', is a member of [[Westarctica]]'s [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]]. Since 11 February 2019, he has served on the [[Royal Council]] as [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]]. He previously served as the [[Minister of Citizenship & Immigration]] and as Commissioner of the [[Westarctica Civilian Corps]]. His title is derived from the [[Bear Peninsula]].


The first people to reach the Geographic South Pole were the Norwegian [[Roald Amundsen]] and his party on December 14, 1911. Amundsen named his camp Polheim and the entire plateau surrounding the Pole King Haakon VII Vidde in honor of King Haakon VII of Norway. Robert Falcon Scott returned to Antarctica with his second expedition, the Terra Nova Expedition, initially unaware of Amundsen's secretive expedition. Scott and four other men reached the South Pole on January 17, 1912, thirty-four days after Amundsen. On the return trip, Scott and his four companions all died of starvation and extreme cold.
Jordan assumed the role of Prime Minister on 11 February 2019. He was elected to a term of four years. On 28 March 2019 Jordan unveiled a Pride flag for the Westarctican [[LGBT rights in Westarctica|LGBTQIA community]]. He declared that the flag was a gift for all Westarcticans to utilize in their own pride celebrations.
