For the same reason that the north pole is cold and north America is hot. The earth is hottest in the middle (the equator) and gets colder the further you get from the middle. It is hottest between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn which are the furthest points (north and south) where the sun is directly above it. In addition to rotating on its axis to make days and nights, the earth also tilts to create summer and winter. North of the equator summer occurs in the months of July and August while in the Southern Hemisphere summer is December and January.

Would it be better to travel to the south pole in the winter or summer?
Winter because if you went to the south pole in the summer, it is going to be cold there and you might miss some of the hot/warm summer weather in the summer; so it would make more sense if someone went in the winter, depending on how hot/cold your country is to start with.
