From the viewpoint of a hypothetical observer at the North Pole, we would see the Sun rise very slowly about March 21, and slowly spiral up around the sky. By June 21, the Sun would appear to be about 23 degrees above the horizon, and would circle the sky every 24 hours. From June 21 on, the Sun would continue to circle the sky as it slowly set, reaching the horizon about September 21. (Refraction effects - the bending of light as it passes through the atmosphere - might cause the Sun to appear a day early and to set a day late.)
There would be a week or so of twilight, as the Sun crept further below the horizon, but by September 27 it would be dark and cold, and it would remain that way until mid-March.
There is no land at the North Pole; the Arctic Ocean extends several hundred miles in every direction. So there are no real observers _at_ the North Pole.

In the north pole in June at midnight is it light or dark?
It is light.
What season is it when the North Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on June 21?
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
What happens at the North and South Pole during both of the equinoxes?
Due to the continual tilt of the earth toward Polaris sometimes the North Pole faces the sun and sometimes it is hidden behind the rest of the earth. When the North Pole is in darkness, the South Pole is in light, and vice versa.
In which direction the poles North Pole and South Pole point during each season?
During summer, the North Pole is pointed toward the Sun, During winter, the North Pole is pointed away from the Sun. The South Pole points in the opposite direction from the North Pole, so that when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Spring and fall follow this same pattern.
Is there an ozone hole over Florida?
