Matt Henson was first. 1909.
There may have been some since.
No, Skunks are not native to the North Pole. If one is there it is because it has been brought in.
Robert Peary claimed to have been the first person to reach the North Pole in 1909, with a team of four Inuit guides. However, this claim has been widely disputed, with some historians arguing that the team may have fallen short of the actual pole.
No and no. The Magnetic north pole is currently in North America. The geographic north pole is over water which is frozen quite thick. So people can walk to the geographic north pole and it has also been visited by several submarines.
No. People have been there.
I recently came back from the North Pole (ICEX 2011), and while on our way, the crew was told that "about 2500 people" have been to the actual North Pole. The majority of these have been on US and UK Sumarines.

Excellent question. As far as I am aware no Crowned Heads of States have ever been to the North Pole.
The North Pole is at the "top" of the earth. It is also called the Arctic. According to everything I've been taught, Santa really does live there.
we have been melting the ice and it could flood the world or places up North
There have been studies conducted of both penguins and the North Pole, but never together. The reason why?, because penguins live in the Antarctic, which lots of people wrongly call the South Pole.
The cold. I have an uncle who has been there.
No, Mathew Henderson was not the first man to set foot on the North Pole. The honor of being the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole is generally attributed to Robert Peary and his team, who claimed to have arrived there on April 6, 1909. However, this claim has been subject to controversy and debate. Mathew Henderson was a member of Peary's expedition but did not reach the pole himself.
