it could be depending on the time and season. like the ice still melts even though its the coldest place on earth.
The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).
The tropic of Cancer is 23° North of the Equator. It represents the point where the Sun can be directly overhead. If you are any further north, the Sun can not be overhead. The corresponding feature in the southern hemisphere is the Tropic of Capricorn. As to the Sun's direct rays, they can be anywhere from the South Pole to the North Pole. Those two points and everything in between receives the Sun's direct rays at some time during the year.
solstice
The Sun rotates on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the North Pole. This means that if you were looking down on the solar system from above the Sun's North Pole, it would appear to be rotating in a counterclockwise direction.
System of orbits
the suns rays
the north pole is tilted away from the sun so the suns rays are less direct
The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).
Because near the north pole there are glaciers and icebergs. They reflect the suns rays, while near the equator, there are no glaciers.

solstice
No, the sun's radiant energy is strongest at the Equator.
the furthest north the suns rays hit perpendicular to the earth
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
All planets, moons, suns, stars, and so forth spin like a top. There is a top and bottom where the spin is almost nothing. These are called the poles. 'North' pole and 'south' pole are terms used because the earth is full of iron, and therefore like a huge magnet with . . . a north and south pole. Other planets, suns, stars, moons, and so forth may or may not have iron cores, but the north and south pole convention applies anyway.
