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. Along tight latitude circles, counterclockwise is east and clockwise is west.
While the South Pole lies on a continental land mass, the North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean amid waters that are almost permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice. This makes it impractical to construct a permanent station at the North Pole (unlike the South Pole). However, the Soviet Union, and later Russia, constructed a number of manned drifting stations on a generally annual basis since 1937, some of which have passed over or very close to the Pole. Since 2002, the Russians have also annually established a base, Barneo, close to the Pole. This operates for a few weeks during early spring. Studies in the 2000s predicted that the North Pole may become seasonally ice-free because of Arctic ice shrinkage, with timescales varying from 2016 to the late 21st century or later.
North Magnetic Pole– the shifting point on the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field points directly downwards.
North Geomagnetic Pole– the point of intersection of the Earth's surface with the axis of a simple magnetic dipole (like a bar magnet) that best approximates the Earth's actual more complex magnetic field.
Originally by analogy with the Earth's magnetic field, the terms "north pole" and "south pole" are also applied to magnets in general, in order to distinguish one "end" of the magnet from the other. For this use see under Magnet and Magnetism.
Trap Back is a mixtape by American rapper Gucci Mane, it was released on February 5, 2012. It includes guest appearances from Chilly Chill, Yo Gotti, Waka Flocka Flame, Rocko, Jadakiss, Future, and 2 Chainz. On mixtape website DatPiff, it has been certified 2x Platinum for being downloaded over 500k times.
Reception
Critical response
Robert Baker of XXL said "Through most of the tape, Gucci does exactly what we expect. He flips raps about flipping white, takes pills with some lady friends, and counts his green. Looking for something different from the Warner Bros. signee at this point is, though, seems foolish." Phillip Mlynar at HipHopDX said "At his best, Gucci cuts something of a ridiculous rap figure - this buffoonish persona is a virtue when he's dropping over-the-top crack rap boasts and flaunting his wealth. So when he spits over a sample of the Tetris theme song on the 2 Chainz-featured "Get It Back," his lines hit home at their cartoonish best; there's a marriage of light-heartedness between the beat and the words."
A lot of expeditions have mysteriously ended in disasters. In the past, many ships got stuck on the ice, and people were stranded. Some ships have sunk and were never found. Not to mention that the Arctic Ocean underneath is still relatively unexplored. Did you know that even though the South Pole is colder than the North Pole, it gets approximately 20,000 visitors per year? Whereas the North Pole only gets about 1,000, including expeditioners. Why is that?
We’ve managed to explore almost all of our planet’s land, including all the inhospitable locations. And the North Pole made that list. So, what makes this place so dangerous? Why would Santa Claus choose to make this place his headquarters? What’s really going on there? Let’s try to figure it out!

Do People Live in The North Pole?
The true geographic North Pole is bereft of vegetation. Trees need soil to flourish. As the North Pole is composed of random chunks of ice in close proximity, there is no way that growth can occur. Then there are months of darkness, lasting roughly between October and February, wherein plants wouldn’t be able to survive in the absence of light to carry out photosynthesis for survival.
The North Pole is clearly unwelcoming for plants and trees, but it’s also inhospitable for animals. Arctic foxes, polar bears, and reindeer, which are found in nearby Arctic regions, seldom migrate to the true North Pole due to unpredictable climatic conditions. As the ice constantly moves and even shrinks during the summer, it doesn’t serve as a good habitat for migratory animals. However, even despite thes...

Why don’t planes make the long, cold journey over the North pole? You might think that it’s just really far out of the way and that it would be a waste of time, but in reality, that’s far from the truth. In fact, because of the spherical shape of the Earth, it actually ends up saving time. The issue is actually the area’s strong magnetic field - it can cause havoc with the plane’s navigation systems, particularly the compasses in older aircrafts. Could that strong magnetic presence affect our beloved tech gadgets as well? What about our credit cards? Even if, hypothetically, commercial planes did fly ...

Why the North Pole looked like this on Old Maps
Check out this map of the Arctic from the 16th century. There are four major land masses surrounding a polar sea with a massive magnetic rock in the center, called Rupes Nigra the Latin words for Black Rock.

What's it really like at the North Pole?
The North Pole is where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It's basically the tip-top point of the planet, directly opposite the South Pole.
Now, there are these two satellites, NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP, that are part of the Joint Polar Satellite System constellation, and they're flying around the Earth from pole to pole 14 times a day while the Earth does its spin thing. And get this, they're separated by 50 minutes so that scientists can watch ice moving in the Arctic with looped imagery. It's like having your own personal ice skating show online.

SUMMARY:
- The ice is approximately 6 to 10 feet thick, and it’s floating in an ocean that’s anywhere from 3,500 to 18,000 feet deep.
- Even though the North Pole is literally ice, it’s actually warmer than the South Pole.
- The North Pole is ice surrounded by land, and the South Pole is land surrounded by ice. The waters underneath the North Pole are warmer than the floating ice – and the ocean warms up the air a bit.
- The North Pole has more complicated entry barriers. The main one is that it doesn’t have a fixed location. It’s just large chunks of ice that constantly move around the Artic Ocean.
- Imagine you’re walking in the woods and you get lost. Your best chance out of there is a compass. But, if you’re in the North Pole, then you’re in big trouble.
- Speaking of not being able to find your way out of there: figuring out what time it is can also be an issue in the North Pole.
- No-one really lives in the North Pole; even Inuit people who live in the surrounding Artic Regions of Russia, Greenland and Canada have never made it their home.
- There’s no drinkable water at the North Pole. Early Artic Explorers had a hard time dealing with thirst. In fact, finding water in the Artic is as difficult as finding water in the desert.
- Speaking of survival, there’s no vegetation in the North Pole. Trees require soil, and since the North Pole is a large block of ice, it doesn’t allow any plants to grow.
- Artic Foxes, Polar Bears, and many other terrestrial animals don’t often migrate to the North Pole, because it can be an unpredictable environment.
- Polar Bears are the largest bears on earth, and they can only survive in the freezing weather of the Artic.
- Scientists now believe that in 50 years there’ll be no Ice in the North Pole during the summer, and they’re carrying out expeditions to research things further.

The North Pole is where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It's basically the tip-top point of the planet, directly opposite the South Pole.
Now, there are these two satellites, NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP, that are part of the Joint Polar Satellite System constellation, and they're flying around the Earth from pole to pole 14 times a day while the Earth does its spin thing. And get this, they're separated by 50 minutes so that scientists can watch ice moving in the Arctic with looped imagery. It's like having your own personal ice skating show online.
But let's talk about the North Pole itself. Unlike the South Pole, there's no solid land up there, just a whole lot of ice floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. Over the past 40 years or so, scientists have noticed a major decrease in the amount and thickness of that ice during both summer and winter months. It's a bit concerning, really.

A lot of expeditions have mysteriously ended in disasters. In the past, many ships got stuck on the ice, and people were stranded. Some ships have sunk and were never found. Not to mention that the Arctic Ocean underneath is still relatively unexplored. Did you know that even though the South Pole is colder than the North Pole, it gets approximately 20,000 visitors per year? Whereas the North Pole only gets about 1,000, including expeditioners. Why is that?
We’ve managed to explore almost all of our planet’s land, including all the inhospitable locations. And the North Pole made that list. So, what makes this place so dangerous? Why would Santa Claus choose to make this place his headquarters? What’s really going on there? Let’s try to figure it out!

SUMMARY:
- The ice is approximately 6 to 10 feet thick, and it’s floating in an ocean that’s anywhere from 3,500 to 18,000 feet deep.
- Even though the North Pole is literally ice, it’s actually warmer than the South Pole.
- The North Pole is ice surrounded by land, and the South Pole is land surrounded by ice. The waters underneath the North Pole are warmer than the floating ice – and the ocean warms up the air a bit.
- The North Pole has more complicated entry barriers. The main one is that it doesn’t have a fixed location. It’s just large chunks of ice that constantly move around the Artic Ocean.
- Imagine you’re walking in the woods and you get lost. Your best chance out of there is a compass. But, if you’re in the North Pole, then you’re in big trouble.
- Speaking of not being able to find your way out of there: figuring out what time it is can also be an issue in the North Pole.
- No-one really lives in the North Pole; even Inuit people who live in the surrounding Artic Regions of Russia, Greenland and Canada have never made it their home.
- There’s no drinkable water at the North Pole. Early Artic Explorers had a hard time dealing with thirst. In fact, finding water in the Artic is as difficult as finding water in the desert.
- Speaking of survival, there’s no vegetation in the North Pole. Trees require soil, and since the North Pole is a large block of ice, it doesn’t allow any plants to grow.
- Artic Foxes, Polar Bears, and many other terrestrial animals don’t often migrate to the North Pole, because it can be an unpredictable environment.
- Polar Bears are the largest bears on earth, and they can only survive in the freezing weather of the Artic.
- Scientists now believe that in 50 years there’ll be no Ice in the North Pole during the summer, and they’re carrying out expeditions to research things further.

The true geographic North Pole is bereft of vegetation. Trees need soil to flourish. As the North Pole is composed of random chunks of ice in close proximity, there is no way that growth can occur. Then there are months of darkness, lasting roughly between October and February, wherein plants wouldn’t be able to survive in the absence of light to carry out photosynthesis for survival.
The North Pole is clearly unwelcoming for plants and trees, but it’s also inhospitable for animals. Arctic foxes, polar bears, and reindeer, which are found in nearby Arctic regions, seldom migrate to the true North Pole due to unpredictable climatic conditions. As the ice constantly moves and even shrinks during the summer, it doesn’t serve as a good habitat for migratory animals. However, even despite these harsh conditions, polar bears, arctic foxes, and walruses are occasionally spotted at the true North Pole.

Why don’t planes make the long, cold journey over the North pole? You might think that it’s just really far out of the way and that it would be a waste of time, but in reality, that’s far from the truth. In fact, because of the spherical shape of the Earth, it actually ends up saving time. The issue is actually the area’s strong magnetic field - it can cause havoc with the plane’s navigation systems, particularly the compasses in older aircrafts. Could that strong magnetic presence affect our beloved tech gadgets as well? What about our credit cards? Even if, hypothetically, commercial planes did fly directly over the North Pole, if emergency where to strike and a plane happened to go down, the chances of being rescued in the vast, baron, isolated North Pole are slim to none.

The North Pole is where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It's basically the tip-top point of the planet, directly opposite the South Pole.
Now, there are these two satellites, NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP, that are part of the Joint Polar Satellite System constellation, and they're flying around the Earth from pole to pole 14 times a day while the Earth does its spin thing. And get this, they're separated by 50 minutes so that scientists can watch ice moving in the Arctic with looped imagery. It's like having your own personal ice skating show online.
But let's talk about the North Pole itself. Unlike the South Pole, there's no solid land up there, just a whole lot of ice floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. Over the past 40 years or so, scientists have noticed a major decrease in the amount and thickness of that ice during both summer and winter months. It's a bit concerning, really.

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. Along tight latitude circles, counterclockwise is east and clockwise is west.
While the South Pole lies on a continental land mass, the North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean amid waters that are almost permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice. This makes it impractical to construct a permanent station at the North Pole (unlike the South Pole). However, the Soviet Union, and later Russia, constructed a number of manned drifting stations on a generally annual basis since 1937, some of which have passed over or very close to the Pole. Since 2002, the Russians have also annually established a base, Barneo, close to the Pole. This operates for a few weeks during early spring. Studies in the 2000s predicted that the North Pole may become seasonally ice-free because of Arctic ice shrinkage, with timescales varying from 2016 to the late 21st century or later.
