The North Pole has no land. Just ice. It can't be a continent.
The Arctic is the area around the Earth's North Pole. The Arctic includes parts of Russia, Alaska (United States), Canada, Greenland (a territory of Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as the Arctic Ocean.

The arctic does not count as part of any continent. It is just a floating mass of ice, so it actually is considered part of the Arctic Ocean, since ice is frozen water.
