Why is it totally dark in the South Pole when the North Pole points toward the Sun?

It is never 'totally dark' at the South Pole, but there are six months of no sunrises.
During those sunrise-less months at the South Pole, the Sun shines on the Northern Hemisphere.
These phenomenon are caused by the tilt of the earth as it wobbles its way through the universe.
