The equator is at 0 degees latitude, the South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. As you move away from the equator towards the higher latitudes, sun light must travel further through the earth's atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth which subsequently weakens it. The temperature becomes progressively colder, so by the time you reach the polar regions, the temperature rarely gets above freezing and, never gets above freezing at the South Pole.

∙ 13y agoBecause it receives less heat from the sun, the angle of the sun hitting the surface will never be very big (the sun will never be high in the sky). This is down to how the earth spins and its rotation around the sun. The south pole never directly faces the sun.

How are the southpole and the south magnetic pole different?
The "South Pole" (and the North Pole) is the axis about which the earth rotates. The "South Magnetic Pole" has nothing to do with the South Pole other than they are located within the Antarctic Circle. All magnets have a North and South Pole, the "South Magnetic Pole" and the "North Magnetic Pole" are the opposite ends of the earth's magnetic field.
