Pytheas was a Greek explorer who added greatly to the geographic knowledge of the world at the time, specifically with regard to the the British Isles. Some believe that he named Britain. His latitude measurements and descriptions of his exploration of the north influenced others significantly, although the book he published of his writings seems to be lost. We know of it through the writings of others.

The first person to explore the Arctic is believed to be Norse explorer, Erik the Red, who sailed to Greenland around 982 AD. However, some sources credit the Greek explorer Pytheas as the first to explore the Arctic around 325 BC.
The American explorer Frederick Albert Cook stated that he reached the North Pole in 1908, but his claim is not widely accepted. The conquest of the North Pole is traditionally credited to American Navy engineer Robert Edwin Peary, who claimed to have reached the Pole on April 6, 1909 but Peary's claim remains controversial. The first undisputed sighting of the Pole was on May 12, 1926 by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his American sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth. It is known North Pole fact, that the first man which crossed the Arctic Circle was the Greek geographer and explorer Pytheas of Massilia at around 320 BC. To answer this question, who discovered the North Pole and when, I'd say Pytheas.
