Is it because there is a telescope at the South Pole and not one at the North pole?

This statement has a lot of truth. As the south pole has a different view than in the higher levels like the mid areas.
It is especially important to note that we are not privy to the activities at the south polar region.

The entire 2012 thread is filled with many simple as well as complicated misunderstandings. Some of the misunderstandings deal with archaeological issues such as mixing Aztec with Mayan cultures or thinking that other cultures other than the Maya mention 2012.
Here I'd like to point out a recurring mistake concerning the South Pole. Countless threads and posts within threads suggest that it is possible to "sneak" up on the Earth by approaching directly at the South Pole.
It is unclear to me why no threads claim that the same can be done for the North Pole. Why can't an object apply the same trickery at the other end of the Earth?

There actually is a telescope at the South Pole.
en.wikipedia.org...
There is no land at the North Pole on which to place a telescope.
At magnitude 5.5, Sigma Octantis is barely visible to the naked eye, making it a rather poor pole star
Octans is so far south that it is in a region of the sky never seen by the ancient Greeks and Babylonians, who devised the ancient constellations, so it has no mythological associations.
In comparison to the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere has fewer land masses and more water.
Earth's northern hemisphere contains most of the planet's land, and roughly 90% of its human population.
The population south of 60°S is sparse and occurs at scattered scientific stations.
Human population north of 60°N is in excess of 2 million with modern settlements.
Maybe because the inner earth access hole at the north pole is much larger
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "sea" at the north pole completely frozen over.
If that's the case, couldn't you theoretically put a telescope there?
OP: Is this about the idea that some members have that there is a planet approaching us from the direction of the South Pole? A planet that they claim we cannot see because it can only be seen from the South Pole area?
