Your location would be 90° S, 0° longitude, and location name is South Pole. Distance to travel is 10,010 kilometers in total.

Explanation:

Location in coordinates 0° latitude and 0° longitude is the place where Eqautor and Prime meridian intersects. That is located in Gulf of Guinea, just to south of western coast of Africa.

Our final destination in this travel is South Pole (in the Antarctica), which is in 90° S and 0° longitude. Distance between upper mentioned intersection and South Pole is exactly half way between both Poles (20,020 kilometers).
