North Pole, Geographical pole in Earth's Northern Hemisphere.
The North Pole marks the exact point where Earth's rotational axis intersects with its surface at 90 degrees north latitude in the Arctic Ocean.
Soviet scientists established the first ground-based research station at the North Pole in 1948, conducting measurements and observations of Arctic conditions.
Navigation systems worldwide reference the North Pole as a fundamental coordinate point for determining global positioning and cardinal directions.
The North Pole experiences one sunrise in March and one sunset in September, with temperatures reaching minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit in winter.
The convergence of all longitude lines at the North Pole creates a situation where every direction from this point leads exclusively southward.
