Because Roald Amundsen was better prepared and had more luck than him. That is a very simplistic way of looking at it. 1, Amundsen's route was shorter. 2, He had the better weather. 3, Amundsen's journey was simply a dash for the Pole. He did no surveying, no scientific work, in fact during the journey only two photographs were taken. Scott's scientific work was that much that scientists only finished analysing it in the 1960's.

This journey mostly likely passed through all the survivable temperatures en route to Antarctica, because they crossed the equator on both expeditions. However, in Antarctica, which is about 30 degrees colder than the northern polar latitudes, the temperature was consistently below freezing, even during the months when the sun does not set.
