text: It is the northernmost point where the earth's surface intersects its axis of rotation.\nWilliam Edward Parry made the first documented trip in 1827.\nDuring summer, there is no nighttime - it is 24 hours daylight at the northpole every day. During winter it is the opposite, there is always darkness 24 hours a day.\nNorth pole is not as cold as the south pole.\n\nMuch more information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_pole
