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.
The point farthest north on Earth is called the North Pole. It is located at 90 degrees north latitude.
The North Magnetic Pole, which is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards, is located in the northern hemisphere. It is currently situated in the Arctic Ocean, near the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
North Seeking Pole
The South Pole experiences colder temperatures than the North Pole.
'Magnetic North' is a term used to distinguish that LOCATION from 'True North'. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is south because it attracts the north pole of a compass needle (unlike poles attract).
The North Magnetic and Geographic Poles are on a floating ice pack although the Magnetic North Pole can be located on a Canadian Island.
In Canada, the Canadian Post Office has a special department that looks after all Canadian mail for the North Pole, since the magnetic Pole is indeed within Canada. So if mail from other countries is addressed to the North Pole, Canada, it will be forwarded to this special department.
The North Pole. Did You Know: -the north pole is on Canadian territory? -there is no actual land at the north pole; just chunks of ice that mesure several meters deep! NOW YOU KNOW!
The Canadian island closest to the North Pole is Ellesmere Island. It is located in the northern territory of Nunavut and is known for its polar desert environment and ice caps.
The Canadian Postal Code code for the North Pole is: H0H 0H0 (seriously, it is)
Not really, no. The closest permanently inhabited place to the north pole is Alert, Nunavat, Canada. Many countries' waters surround the north pole, Canadian, Russian, Danish, and some US waters from Alaska. The frozen sea North pole is located in Canadian waters. But no country can officially claim the geographic location as their own. It's a bit like claiming a certain portion of the sky or ocean.
There is a town called North Pole, Alaska with a zip code 99705, but I can not find any postal code for the actual "North Pole". I believe Santa is the only resident of the North Pole, so I think you can just address letters to him - it will get there!
No plants grow in the North Pole because it is far too cold for anything to grow. Most plants need certain temperatures to sprout, along with soil.
Mars does not have the soil or atmosphere to sustain even one tree.
WE HAVE FOUND DAT THE SOIL AT THE NORTH POLE OF MAS IS LIKE THE EARTH'S GARDEN SOIL
Narwhals live in the Canadian and Greenlandic Arctic waters.
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
