No, the North Pole is defiantly not a country. The North Pole is an imaginary point that just happens to coincide with a point on the Arctic Ice Sheet, which just happens to float on top of the Arctic Ocean.

No, it is not it is a cold region of the world and the word's 'North Pole' means the point that is at the north point of the world.

No, it is not a glacier. The North Pole is a point on a huge area of shifting sea ice that floats on liquid water in the Arctic Ocean.

Sea ice permanently covers all of the Arctic Ocean north of the 84th parallel, which is further north than Coffee Club Island, the most northerly land in the world. The 84th parallel is about 670 kilometres from the North Pole. At the North Pole, the permanent sea ice is no more than two metres deep, whereas the glacier at the South Pole is 2,700 metres deep and completely frozen to its bed.

The actual geographic north pole is not in Alaska. It is well north of Alaska. However there is a town named "North Pole" which is in interior Alaska just outside the city of Fairbanks.
