Pope Francis, who is known as ‘the Pope of the peripheries’, has suggested the possibility of travelling to somewhere no pope has gone before — the South Pole. In an interview, the 86-year-old Pope said he plans to visit his native Argentina, adding: ‘Somebody said that if I go to Argentina, I should stop at Rio Gallegos, then head to the South Pole, land in Melbourne, and visit New Zealand. It would be a rather long journey,’ he joked.
