The North Pole is a point that describes the northernmost place on Earth. It is the the northern end of the north-south axis of the Earth where every direction is south and is the northern point where all longitudinal meridians begin. Its latitude is 90 degrees north. It is the opposite of the South Pole.

It lies under the waters of the Arctic Ocean at a point more or less equidistant between the northern coasts of Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland. The sea there is usually ice-bound but not always. (The ice was thin enough in August 1958 for the US Submarine "Skate" to surface there.)
