Can a pole bear survive on South Pole?

Question

Can a pole bear survive on South Pole?

Answer 1

If a polar bear was brought to the South Pole itself, it would
certainly die. The South Pole, which is in the center of the
continent, has almost no life (perhaps some bacteria survive there...)
and the bear would starve to death. If the polar bear were brought to
a coastal area, it would probably survive a while, since there are
seals and birds to eat. Many of these seals and birds breed on land
during the summer and then move away during the winter. The polar bear
would have to move onto the sea ice during the winter to search for
food. Scientists have a very poor understanding of the winter
distribution of birds and seals in Antarctica because it is difficult
to mount a scientific expedition during the cold and dark periods such
as winter. So, if the bear could find food on the winter sea ice, it
might survive to the next summer. I think that is a very big "if".

Answer 2

Not unless it found something to eat. Since the United States has a science base right at the south pole, there might be people to eat (there's only about 40 that winter over, but in the austral summer, there is about 250 people there).
BUT - polar bears do not live the Antarctic. They live in the Arctic, so you would have to ship one in for it to live there. Presumably, someone would also bring food for it (and a cage) to keep it alive.
