Does the prime meridian and the international date line pass through the north pole or south pole or both?
Both poles are on both of those lines, but to be very technical about it,those lines don't "pass through" either pole.The poles are the end-points of both the Prime Meridian and the InternationalDate Line. So when either line reaches the pole, it stops there, and it doesn'tpass through.
