Since the starting point is at 60° west and the trip goes 120° farther west, the new position will be at 180° west. Going south by 50° will bring the position to 20° north, 130° west. Since the International Date Line is at 180° east and west, crossing it would bring us from 130° west to 50° east, and we would be at the International Date Line at 30° south latitude. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
