Like in a plane? Sure, why wouldn't it be?

sure you are able to fly over the poles. overlook the nonsense approximately compasses. you're actually not likely to fly over the poles in a Cessna one hundred fifty. Any airplane that would attain the poles would have navigational computers that use GPS, Gyros and accelerometers. GPS supply you your place interior of a few ft everywhere in the worldwide. Gyros and accelerometers advance errors over the years with the aid of fact the final alignment. this mistake, talked approximately as glide, would properly be decrease than a mile or 2 according to hour. in view which you will in all probability attain a pole interior of a few hours after takeoff in case you have been flying thoroughly on instruments you won't omit the pole with the aid of a style of miles. in case you're able to see landmarks on the floor you're able to realign in flight and fly over interior of a few hundred ft.

Yes. Planes have made trips over the North Pole for probably over 50 years now. They call them trans-polar flights.

An object is in orbit when its forward velocity is equal to the gravatational pull of the Earth. In other words the object is in a "freefall" attitude. As it falls to the surface, the surface rotates away from it so it is a chasing game. Geostationary objects are high enough so that their speed "exactly matches the Rotation of the earth (22,000 miles). This is only happening at the equator so a polar geostationary cannot exist as we are not rotating that direction.

yes, you can fly over the north pole, lust like anywhere else, In fact i'd reccomend it if you we're going from canada to russia..

Sure, why wouldn't it be? Most of the commercial flights between LA and London and LA and Moscow go across the Pole.

You not only can fly over it, but you can have polar orbits that are stationary over it! I want to know how low a geo-synchronous orbit you can have. If you constantly adjust for wind variables then a geo orbit at extreme low altitude would look like your hovering over a selected spot!

Of course, why not? Its just another place on the Earth's surface. But you'd need a plane of course.

Yes it is.
Maybe you can find an airline which does just that!
