Under International Law, no country currently owns the North Pole or the region of the Arctic Ocean surrounding it.

The five surrounding Arctic states, Russia, the United States (via Alaska), Canada, Norway and Denmark (via Greenland), are limited to an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 200 nautical miles (370 km, 230 mi) adjacent to their coasts.

But, thanks to the United Nations fudging the UNCLOS agreement, watch all that go out of the window very soon.

Not really, no. The closest permanently inhabited place to the north pole is Alert, Nunavat, Canada.
