| Reverse lettering | ARCTIC TERRITORIES North Pole Expedition The North Pole is the northernmost point on the earth. Here will all the directions point to south. The North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and has almost been permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice. At the North Pole is the sun continously above the horizon in summer time. In recent years, a numbers of studies have predicted that the North Pole may become seasonally ice-free due to Arctic shrinkage. Later years expeditions by ski have been more and more complicated and several expeditions have been abandoned due the change of climate with more and more areas shifting with ice and water.
