Antarctica is a continent located south of the Equator. The Arctic is closer to the North Pole, north of the Equator.
It's too cold in Antactica for tundra, which is formed from organic growth in the soil that freezes and thaws and freezes again. Antarctica is too cold for organic growth: only two types of short grasses grow on the west side of the northernmost peninsula of the Antarctic continent. As well, it's never warm enough in Antarctica for anything with no access to direct sunlight to thaw.
