I'm trying to figure out how many people are at the geographic north pole on average, or on any given day.

I figure anyone living there is probably a researcher of some sort, and was curious as to how many there were on any given day. My guess is around 2.

none, dear one. It's uninhabitable. It's ocean, covered by ice.

There is no land mass at the geographic north pole (the magnetic north pole is moving, it was in Canada, now on its way to Russia), so the North Pole is over pack ice that drifts -- not a good place for habitation. There is a bunch of international hub-bub over who owns the North Pole, which really is moot since NO ONE lives there. The only reason there is any discussion is concern over mineral (like oil) rights.

No one lives at the North Pole. I guess this is because the North Pole is on top of a fairly thin layer of floating ice, which tends to move around and crack.
However, some people live at the South Pole:
"Today the South Pole boasts a summer population of around 125, dropping to about 30 in winter." http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northeast/series7/south_pole.shtml

Not me. Now you can eliminate one from the list. Wait... My friend here says he is also not at the North Pole currently, so thts 2 off your list. You will know after you get 6 billion more answers like this.
