No, as he only flew over it in the airship 'Norge'. This does not count as an attainment of a pole. Even though some people seem to think that it does, and give Amundsen the credit of being first person to both poles.

What is the Canadian postal code for the north pole?

It is well known that Santa Claus (aka Kris Kringle) lives in the North Pole, Canada and the postal code for the North Pole is H0H 0H0, sometimes written incorrectly as HO HO HO. It is equally well known that mail addressed to Santa Claus or Mr Kringle as follows: Santa Claus North Pole H0H 0H0 CANADA by December 1st each year is guaranteed delivery by Canada Post to the one, true, Santa Clause who will send a written reply by return post. I trust there will be no more unfortunate mistakes such a the spurious claim that Santa Claus lives in the United States? Thenk Yew.
