North Pole

The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth, located in the Arctic Ocean. It’s the point where all lines of longitude converge and is characterized by sea ice that varies seasonally. Unlike land-based poles, it isn’t a fixed landmass but covered by floating sea ice. The North Pole experiences continuous daylight in summer and darkness in winter, with extreme cold temperatures. It’s a significant geographical and climatic marker, often associated with polar exploration, Arctic ecosystems, and climate change studies. While some research stations are nearby, the pole itself is mostly a shifting ice surface rather than a solid land area.
