Best Answer

The first surface vessel to reach the North Pole was the Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika

Sailing from Murmansk, it broke its way through the ice, and reached the North Pole on August 17, 1977.

Arktika is a Nenets word meaning 'End of the Earth'. A rather apt name.

The first ship to surface at the North Pole was the US nuclear submarine, Nautilus, in 1958.

Answer

The above answer is incorrect, Nautilus did not surface, she just travelled under the ice.

The first submarine to surface at the North Pole was the USS Skate in 1959.

The first was the USS Nautilus, the first US nuclear submarine. I'm sure others have since too.
