Poleward, or polewards means moving towards the North or South Pole.

"We whistled up the huskies and the dog sleds moved polewards."

"The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the further poleward one goes."

POLEWARD is also the name for an experiment where 118 "surface drifters" were sent out on the Norwegian Atlantic Current to take temperatures of the water as they moved along.
