The North Pole, also known as the terrestrial North Pole, is the northern-most place on the earth. Its location is at 90 degrees North latitude and all lines of longitude converge at this point.
The North Pole is situated 450 miles north of Greenland in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. There is no land at the North Pole. It is mostly covered by sea ice, though recently there has been evidence to suggest that the ice may be thinning and that there are some areas of open water. This is most likely due to the wind shifting the ice.National Oceanic and Arctic Administration: Arctic Themes
American explorer Robert E. Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole along with a team of four Eskimos on April 6, 1909. Peary and his team made their journey by dog sled. Just a month later, Floyd Bennett and Richard Byrd made it by plane.

Correction. This fire seems to have started near a power pole and is only 2kms north. The wind is fierce, but seems to be tending more WNW.
