Why is there ice in Antarctica?

Indeed, people do live in Antarctica, but not typically in igloos. There are no native peoples from Antarctica, and never have been as far as we currently know. Igloos might be built there from time to time, but the people who live there are researchers from other places, and live in research stations/outposts in more permanent dwellings. Anyone venturing farther away from the research stations should know how to build igloos to use them like tents and for immediate survival; certainly they are not used as regular dwelling places if at all.
The only igloo would be built by a temporary worker or scientist in need of shelter, having not returned to camp or to the research station before being threatened by extreme weather.
