Who invented north pole?

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.
