Flip_Themes_Package_Spread_North_Pole - Version 1.0 The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth, lying diametrically opposite the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90¡ã North, as well as the direction of True North. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value.Polar bears are believed rarely to travel beyond about 82¡ã North owing to the scarcity of food, though tracks have been seen in the vicinity of the North Pole, and a 2006 expedition reported sighting a polar bear just 1 mi (1.6 km) from the Pole. Birds seen at or very near the Pole include the Snow Bunting, Northern Fulmar and Black-legged Kittiwake, though some bird sightings may be distorted by the tendency of birds to follow ships and expeditions. Fish have been seen in the waters at the North Pole, but these are probably few in number.
