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 International Astronomical Union (IAU) defines the north pole of a planet or any of its satellites in the Solar System as the planetary pole that is in the same celestial hemisphere, relative to the invariable plane of the Solar System, as Earth's north pole. [1] This definition is independent of the object's direction of rotation about its ...
