Is Alaska in the north pole?
No, what is commonly called the north pole is not in Alaska. The term north pole can be used to mean the polar center of the earth or also the magnetic north point of the earth. There is however a town called North Pole in Alaska. It is located in an area called the "Interior" about 100 miles or so south of the Arctic Circle, near the city of Fairbanks. It lies about 15 miles to the East of Fairbanks. The town changed it's name to North Pole years ago in an attempt to lure toy manufacturers to the community and hopefully provide a source of income and revenue. It never happened but it has boosted tourism and there's even a place called "Santa Claus House", the town is decorated with a Christmas theme year round, and every year during the Christmas season the post office is overwhelmed with mail from around the world by people desiring mail with a post mark of North Pole, Alaska.
Are the poles in the North and South poles invisible?
Yes, in a word. Physically, there are no 'poles', except for those at the South Pole. World globes, however, use the North and South poles as anchors for pins that allow the globe to rotate. The North Pole sits on sea ice, which is constantly moving. There are no markers there. At the South Pole, there is something called 'the Ceremonial Pole' where people pose for photos. There is also a brass and copper marker that is re-located every New Year's Day to mark the geographical pole, because the ice under the pole moves.

What is unusual about the north and south pole and why is this so?
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 do people find it hard to live in the north pole?
1. How cold is the North Pole?The interesting fact is that the North Pole is much warmer than the South Pole because it lies at the middle of an ocean (which keeps heat), rather than a continental land mass.During the winter time temperatures at the North Pole can range from about -43C (-45F) to -26C (-15F), so the average temperature is -34C (-30F). During the summer time the temperature is 0C, 32F.2. Is the North Pole located on a continent?No, the North Pole is located in constantly shifting sea ice which is covered the middle of the Arctic Ocean.South Pole located on a continent and this fact describes the difference between North Pole weather and South pole weather.

There are two men who reached the North Pole almost at the same time - Frederick Albert Cook (1908) and Robert Peary (1909). The scientific society considers Robert Peary as a first who reached the North Pole. However they both didn't provide the convincing proof of it. Actually the first scientific station was established near the North Pole only in 1937 by Russians expedition. However the first registered step on the North Pole was in 1948. The scientist Ivan Papanin and his expedition had begun an investigation of North Pole.6.

It means that all North Pole is covered by ice which never thaws. Historically, there was not continent here never or during thousands years. May be there was a continent when the Earth represented the new planet with one big continent and no reasonable life on it. There is a bottom beyond all this water but it cannot named a continent it is just a bottom of Arctic Ocean.8. What continent does the North Pole belong to?The North Pole doesn't belong to continent, because it is located in Arctic Ocean, the closest land to it is Kaffeklubben Island, off the northern coast of Greenland about 700 km (440 mi) away. That's why Denmark supposes that the North Pole should become their territory. But if you will follow by meridians you can see that the majority of the North Pole belongs to Russia. Some part is belong to USA and Canada, and some to Scandinavian countries. But by now it is not belongs to any country.9. Is the North Pole a country?No, The North Pole is independent territory which is governed by the International Seabed Authority. It is intergovernmental body located on Jamaica. It is independent treaty organization. Actually there is not any country on North Pole not only because of its status of independent zone but also because of weather condition. It will be very difficult to adopt the North Pole for comfortable people's life.10. When was the North Pole discovered?Officially the date of North Pole discovery is April 6,1909 when Robert Peary with friends reached it. But these fact was challenged by Robert Peary who was assured scientific society that it was he who discovered the North Pole in 1909.11. Which has no land under it the north or south pole?There is no land under the North Pole, only 4 km depth water under sea ice. Quite the contrary the South Pole is located in continent. By the way. Antarctica is the highest continent, the medium altitude of continent is 2000 meters. The majority f this altitude is ice, in some places ice reach up the mark of 3500 meters.12. Is the North Pole part of a continent?North Pole is not a part of continent, it is a point in the shifting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. The nearest land is Greenland and the nearest continent is Eurasian. And there is not continent under North Pole, only water in the condition of ice.13. What continent is the North Pole in?There is no continent under North Pole only water of Ocean covering by sea ice. South Pole is located on continent which named Antarctica and North Pole is only the permafrost. There was not a continent here never.14.

Only these animals can live in such strong and difficult conditions. Of course there is not plenty of animals but all types of animals who lives here is very impressive and unique.15. How to survive on the North Pole?Before even venturing out into the cold you need to plan your outing and then execute that plan. Dressing up the right way is crucial. Layer, layer, layer. Only use natural or synthetic materials that breath. The reason for this is that you will perspire an having a cold wet layer next to your body can easily lead to frostbite. Wool and fleece are great for creating that thick air pocket layer in between. The outer layer needs to be water and wind resistant and still breath. Thick soled shoes will insulate from the ground. Felt booties are the best inside a boot, but if you have a modern hiking boot then, make sure you have room for a woolen sock and still room for blood to flow. If you are hit with a snow storm you need to stop, so that you do not get lost and make it virtually impossible for a rescue to be mounted. Tie a colored cloth outside to mark your location. It is strongly recommend trying to stay awake. If you fall a sleep you will not wake if hyperthermia kicks in and you will sleep longer than anticipated. If you feel a prickly pain in your extremities you can try moving a bit to increase circulation. If your extremities go numb, then you are in big trouble and should try to massage blood flow into them immediately until sensation returns.As in any crisis situation try to stay calm and don't panic. Common sense is your best friend and if you panic all common sense tends be lost.
