Because those are regions which do not receive enough
sunlight
to melt the ice.
Atop mountains at low latitudes, even permanent
ice areas
exist. Sunlight isn't the cause though, since sunlight is plentiful at low latitudes. The cause is adiabatic expansion and temperature reduction of air which rises from the sea level, and creates the colder surrounding air around the mountain top
