South Pole Exploration

If I was able to travel to the South Pole I would like to choose many people with the combined skills that could easily help us survive in the harsh environment.  Since we have to choose just one person, then i would have to choose my father.  My father is an extreme outdoors man, and could do just about anything that would be need to survive.  The harsh environment would be extremely testing on our bodies.  We would have to kill animals to stay alive.  If we killed a very large animal then we could use the fat and blubber from that animal to stay warm.
