Is there really a North Pole?

Answer 1

you mean where Santa lives or an actual place, There is a town in Alaska called North Pole near Fairbanks and then there is the top of the world, the opposite of the South Pole, crazy, I know, I hope you didn't mean a pole in the ground

Answer 2

Geographic North Pole
The Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is close to the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. Geographic North defines latitude 90° North. In whichever direction you travel from here, you are always heading south. The pole is located in the Arctic Ocean. Classically (19th century) this pole was exactly where people believed the pole of rotation met the Earth's surface, but soon astronomers noticed a small apparent variation of latitude as determined for a fixed point on Earth by observing stars. This variation had a period of about 435 days and the periodic part of it is now called the Chandler wobble after its discoverer. It is desirable to tie the system of Earth coordinates (latitude, longitude, and elevations or orography) to fixed landforms. Of course, given continental drift and the rising and falling of land due to volcanos, erosion and so on, there is no system in which all geographic features are fixed. Yet the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the International Astronomical Union have defined a framework called the International Terrestrial Reference System that does an admirable job. The North pole of this system now defines geographic North and it does not quite coincide with the rotation axis. Also see polar motion.

On the basis of the sector principle, Canada claims its sovereignty to extend all the way to the Geographic North Pole. There is no land at this location, which is usually covered by sea ice. The theory under which Canada has claimed sovereignty to the North Pole is controversial as there is in fact 770 km of ocean between the pole and Canada's northernmost land point, and several nations, most notably the United States, have challenged the notion that the North Pole does not lie in international waters.

Answer 3

Yes..and it's at the North Pole

Answer 4

yes there is a north pole but not a place like tokyo or somthing it kinda of like the equater no there no Santa Clause it a place you can go but not stay only a few people have been there.You would go there and not even know that it existed.yea but there is an North Pole.

Answer 5

Yes. And there's a South Pole too.

Answer 6

Yes and no...there is a pole that works with the magnetic fields...but as far as an actual pole...no

Answer 7

Yes its the one point that Canada and Russia have a maritime border with each other. It is at Latidude 90 and is over an ice cap.

Answer 8

Yes there is. When dealing with compasses there is magnetic north and true north. when dealing with geography it is just slightly off from magnetic north. And when dealing with Santa, You bet your sweet bippy there is:)

Answer 9

it is north of Canada

Answer 10

yes there is
but it's not a pole if that's what u mean
