There is always ice at the south pole too. It is colder at the south pole because it is tilted away from the sun, so the sunlight there is weaker and does not warm it up as much as it does in the north.
Because the temperatures are so low in those areas that it is near impossible for the ice to melt creating perma-frost.
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
It is mostly water and ice bergs
The North Pole, which sits on the Arctic Ocean ice, is warmer by about 30 degrees F than the South Pole, which sits on an ice sheet that stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
The south pole, which is on the Antarctic continent.

The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)

You can locate the North Pole on the Arctic Ocean sea ice.
They are both at separate ends of the world. The South Pole is land covered in ice and snow. The North Pole is thick ice sheets floating on the sea.

There are many differences between the north and south poles. One difference is,the south pole is colder than the north pole. Another difference is, people live near the north pole and people can not live in the south pole. Another difference is that the south pole has more ice.
No. There are two polar ice caps: one around the north pole and one around the south pole.
The Arctic Ocean, because the North Pole is a spot on a sheet of ice floating on the Arctic Ocean, the water actually keeps the temperature higher. That is why the South pole is always colder than the North Pole.
The North Pole has no land mass under the ice, as it is located in the Arctic Ocean and is covered entirely by sea ice. In contrast, the South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, which has a land mass covered by ice.
