'all south from here' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'plot heron in flight' is the wordplay.
'in flight' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters fly around).
'plot'+'heron'='plotheron'
'plotheron' anagrammed gives 'NORTH POLE'.

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
