Precisely equal numbers of people have visited both environments, and for the same, very good, reason.
Can you guess? (It's not the cold!)
For a start, your claim that the
"precisely equal numbers of people have visited both environments"
is completely incorrect! You could have checked on it yourself at:

for 2015-2016 year alone.
If you actually meant those that worked or visited the South Pole that is quite different!
Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station Population
There are some visitors to the South Pole, see
Tourists at the South Pole
Despite its remoteness, the South Pole has a lot of visitors every year. Of course, the main human presence at the pole is the United States Antarctic Program – with whom I worked this past 2012-2013 summer season. The USAP has about 150 people living at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, in addition to a number of scientists transiting through on their way to various field camps and outposts.
However, in addition to people associated with USAP, there are also a number of tourists and expedition groups that make it to the pole. The area that the South Pole Station occupies is restricted space, and operates on a special Antarctic Treaty permit. However, as far as I’ve heard, the area around the station is more or less open territory. Additionally, the south pole skiway, which is used for landing Hercs for the USAP, is a free and open runway for anybody to land on.
Tourists come to the south pole via all modes of transportation, however, most come by either plane or ski. ANI runs most of the tourist expeditions, although a few independent groups also make it to the pole. During my time living at the south pole station, I had the opportunity to work as one of three station tour guides. When groups would arrive at the pole and request a tour of the station, I would meet the group outside the station and bring them in for a quick 1 hour tour. During my tour guiding, it was very interesting talking to the various groups, and hearing their own stories about getting to the pole. Additionally, during my tour, each group seemed to pick up on a different aspect of the station – be it recreation, science, the location, temperature, life on the station, transportation, my specific job, or whatever.

Plenty of pretty pictures there for your enjoyment.
But, what is the connection between Antarctica and Space?
All you ever do is try to drag the
well proven Heliocentric Globe down, but little you will never do it!
Get used to it before you get too stuck in your ways.
As I have asked before, even if you manage to "debunk the Globe", you have nothing workable to replace it.
