Stupid answer: Vytal is one of those JRPG donut planets. There's no south pole. There's only a north pole.

Logical answer: The south pole already melted. Which is why Vytal has very thorny edges in certain places on the continents. Like the 'tail' of the eastern dragon. Or heck, the Southwestern desert.
