The North Pole is not on a land mass. The pole is actually exists in the middle of semi-permanent, constantly shifting masses of ice.
The depth of the sea at the North Pole is approximately 14,000 feet. The first exploration to the bottom of the sea at the North Pole was undertaken by the Russians in 2007.
The physical location of the North Pole varies, due to the "wobbling" effect that is caused by a shifting in the Earth's axis.
Scientists knew that the North Pole was located in the ocean as early as the 16th century. The still-controversial discovery of the North Pole is credited to American Robert Peary, in April 1909.
In the summer months, temperatures at the North Pole can reach up to 32F--the freezing mark. In winter months, temperatures range from -45 to -15F.
The North Pole is far from devoid of life, polar bears, fur seals and some sea birds have been seen around the North Pole area. There is little marine life, Russian underwater expeditions report no marine life at the seabed.
The standard method of telling time based on the position of the sun in the sky does not work at the North Pole. A day at the North Pole lasts the whole year.

Why is the North Pole and south pole so hot?
Gulf Stream
Why a compass is attracted by the north pole but not the south pole?
The compass needle is magnetic so has a north pole and a south pole. North attracts north and south attracts south so the compass needle points to the north pole (you could say it - the other end- points to the south pole too).
Why is everything south of the North Pole?
It is the northern most point on Earth. You cannot go west or east of it, so the only direction is south. At the South Pole, you can only go north. The Earth rotates based on the North Pole and South Pole. There is no east or west pole.
The North Pole is north of which island?
It is mostly water and ice bergs
What are invisible magnetic lines that leave the north pole and enter the south pole of the magnet called?
because the north pole always try's attracts the south pole so that is why the visible magnetic lines of poles are from north tosouth

What is the latitude from the north pole to the south pole?
The latitude at the north pole is 90° North. The latitude at the south pole is 90° south. So the trip from one pole to the other covers 180° of latitude ... just what you would expect when you travel halfway around any sphere.
What polarity is the north pole?
'Magnetic North' is a term used to distinguish that LOCATION from 'True North'. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is south because it attracts the north pole of a compass needle (unlike poles attract).
