The sea depth at the North Pole has been measured at 4,261 m (13,980 ft) by the Russian Mir submersible in 2007 [1] and at 4,087 m (13,409 ft) by USS Nautilus in 1958. [2] [3] This makes it impractical to construct a permanent station at the North Pole (unlike the South Pole).
The first stations to use drift ice as means of scientific exploration of the Arctic originated in the Soviet Union in 1937, when the first such station in the world, North Pole-1, started operations. [1] North Pole-1 was established on 21 May 1937 some 20 km from the North Pole by the expedition into the high
North Pole-1 (Russian: Северный полюс-1) was the world's first manned drifting station in the Arctic Ocean, primarily used for research. North Pole-1 was established on 21 May 1937 and officially opened on 6 June, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the North Pole by the expedition into the high latitudes Sever-1, led by Otto Schmidt.
Barneo. Camp Barneo (Russian: Лагерь Бaрнео) is a private temporary tourist resort located on Arctic Ocean ice near the North Pole. When it is occupied for a few weeks in April, it is the northernmost inhabited place in the world. It was first established in 2002 and re-occupied annually thereafter, but it has remained vacant since 2018.
1989 aerial view. Pituffik Space Base (/ b iː d uː ˈ f iː k / bee-doo-FEEK; [2] Greenlandic:) (IATA: THU, ICAO: BGTL), formerly Thule Air Base (/ t uː l iː / or / t uː l eɪ /), is the United States Space Force's northernmost base, and the northernmost installation of the U.S. Armed Forces, located 1,210 km (750 mi) north of the Arctic Circle and 1,524 km (947 mi) from the North Pole on ...
Fletcher's Ice Island. Fletcher's Ice Island or T-3 was an iceberg discovered by U.S. Air Force Colonel Joseph O. Fletcher. Between 1952 and 1978 it was used as a staffed scientific drift station that included huts, a power plant, and a runway for wheeled aircraft. [1] The iceberg was a thick tabular sheet of glacial ice that drifted throughout ...
Alert lies just 817 km (508 mi) from the North Pole; the nearest Canadian city is Iqaluit, the capital of the territory of Nunavut, 2,092 km (1,300 mi) distant. The settlement is surrounded by rugged hills and valleys. The shore is composed primarily of slate and shale. Argillite and greywacke also occur.
