North Pole


 

The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is, subject to the caveats explained below, defined as the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. It should not be confused with the North Magnetic Pole.

The North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth, lying diametrically opposite the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90° north, as well as the direction of true north. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value.

Home to the Polar bears, the Northern Lights and Santa Claus, the north Pole is a place I have to visit. Not just because of its amazing views but also to see an orca hunt. Imagine how invigorating that sight will be.

 

One of the biggest things to do in the North Pole is a cruise through the arctic to see the Northern light or fly for eleven hours to sight see every part of the North Pole.
