What is North Pole?
{{refimprove|date=September 2015}} {{for|the town in Alaska|North Pole, Alaska}} [[File:Arctic Ocean.png|thumb|Arctic Ocean with North Pole]] The '''North Pole''' is the point that is farthest north on [[Earth]]. It is the point on which axis of Earth turns. It is in the [[Arctic Ocean]] and it is cold there because the [[sun]] does not shine there for about half a year and never rises very high. The [[Arctic Ocean|ocean]] around the pole is always very cold and it is covered by a thick sheet of [[ice]]. There is also a [[Magnetic North Pole]]. It is near the physical North Pole. A [[compass]] points toward the magnetic North Pole. There is a star called the North Star (or [[Polaris (star)|Polaris]]) that is always in the sky above the North Pole. People can tell how far north they are by seeing how high the North Star appears in the sky. ==Climate== {{Weather box |location = North Pole |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C= -13 |Feb record high C= -14 |Mar record high C= -11 |Apr record high C= -6 |May record high C= 3 |Jun record high C= 10 |Jul record high C= 13 |Aug record high C= 12 |Sep record high C= 7 |Oct record high C= -2 |Nov record high C= -8 |Dec record high C= -6 |year record high C= 13 |Jan high C = -29 |Feb high C = -31 |Mar high C = -30 |Apr high C = -22 |May high C = -9 |Jun high C = 0 |Jul high C = 2 |Aug high C = 1 |Sep high C = -7 |Oct high C = -18 |Nov high C = -25 |Dec high C = -26 |year high C = |Jan mean C = -31 |Feb mean C = -32 |Mar mean C = -31 |Apr mean C = -23 |May mean C = -11 |Jun mean C = -1 |Jul mean C = 1 |Aug mean C = 0 |Sep mean C = -9 |Oct mean C = -20 |Nov mean C = -27 |Dec mean C = -28 |year mean C = |Jan low C = -33 |Feb low C = -35 |Mar low C = -34 |Apr low C = -26 |May low C = -12 |Jun low C = -2 |Jul low C = 0 |Aug low C = -1 |Sep low C = -11 |Oct low C = -22 |Nov low C = -30 |Dec low C = -31 |year low C = |Jan record low C= -47 |Feb record low C= -50 |Mar record low C= -50 |Apr record low C= -41 |May record low C= -24 |Jun record low C=
