There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
The South Pole is an ice sheet covering 98% of the Antarctic continent.. The North Pole is a floating ice sheet.
Both. Chunks of ice in water make up the surrounding area of the North Pole.
A frozen Ocean, to reach the imaginary point known as the North Pole you would have to travel over the ice sheet of the Arctic Ocean.
No, it is a very large floating ice sheet.
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
There are no claims by any country to the North Pole.
It is mostly water and ice bergs
The North Pole, which sits on the Arctic Ocean ice, is warmer by about 30 degrees F than the South Pole, which sits on an ice sheet that stores about 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
No. There are two polar ice caps: one around the north pole and one around the south pole.
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)
caps
The ice caps at the North Pole are solid.
north
Well....there is no land below the north pole...south has a lot of ice on top....
The ice caps in the North pole of Mars compose of frozen water and frozen carbon dioxide and the ice caps on the South Pole consists mainly of of frozen water.

The North Pole, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean are all examples of where ice caps are located
