in the middle of the waters
The North Pole is situated in the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature is never warm enough to melt the thick sea ice that freezes much of the year.
The thickest piece of ice ever recorded was about 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) thick. This ice sheet is found in Antarctica and is known as the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The North Pole, as it is an imaginary point on the Arctic Ice Cap, which floats on top of the Arctic Ocean.
How thick is the ice at the north pole
If you were at the North Pole, you would be standing on sea ice floating on the Arctic Ocean. Beneath the sea ice at the North Pole is thousands of feet of water.
A large piece of ice that covers land is called an Ice Sheet.

At the South Pole, the elevation in excess of 9,000 feet is the thickness of the ice, plus, since the ice is so heavy, it pushes the continent under the pole to below sea level. The sea ice over the Arctic -- the site of the North Pole -- floats on sea water and is not as thick as the ice that covers the Antarctic continent.

The ice caps at the North Pole are solid.
The north pole contains the largest ice caps ;-)
How thick is the ice at the north pole
The North Pole. It sits on a floating ice sheet.The North Pole is not on a continent. It is on a very large floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.You'll find the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean.
The North Pole sits on a floating ice sheet which is called the Arctic ice sheet.
Yes, there is tundra ice near the north pole. There are actually two separate north poles and one is called the magnetic north pole.
