Has anybody ever been to north/south pole???

People have recorded their visits at both poles. Parry was the first to record his visit to the North pole. The number now is in mutitudes.

I think you are referring to the fact that there is a geographical north pole and a magnetic north pole.  \n\nThe North Pole can be defined in four different ways. Only the first two definitions are commonly used.\n\nHowever it is defined, the North Pole lies in the Arctic Ocean. It is not on land as the south pole is, so there is no land, just permanently frozen waters.\n\nThe Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is approximately the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. \n\nThe Magnetic North Pole is the northern point at which the geomagnetic field points vertically, i.e. the dip is 90°. \n\nThe Geomagnetic North Pole is the pole of the Earth's geomagnetic field's dipole moment (somewhat confusingly, it is technically the south pole of the dipole). (I really don't know what that means!!!)\n\nThe Northern Pole of Inaccessibility is defined as the point in the Arctic farthest from any coastline, and is at 84°03′N 174°51′W. Similar poles exist in the Pacific and Indian oceans, and there is a dry land pole of inaccessibility in the Antarctic. \n\nThe website I've attached gives lots more information.

The north pole is not on a continent.  It is in the middle of the arctic ocean which has a frozen ice cap.

I haven't, but search "climb everest" in yahoo.  And YES it can & has been done.

Yes ... I been there !!!\nWhy u ask? Do u want to go with me?

All of those places are very true. We have never truly explored them, however due to satellites and othre spacefaring craft, we have managed to chart all these regions.\n\nThe only place on earth we have not truly explored and can't is the ocean floor.\n\nAnd if we could, who knows what we'd find... Ships - yes.\n\nLost continents - maybe\nAtlantis - I hope so!!

Bairdt found a good website for the information, but Id like to point out that the North Pole does NOT have a glacier--the North Pole is covered by the Arctic Ocean--the surface of which is frozen as sea ice (not glacial ice).  I think sea ice can be as much as 10 feet thick, though.  Antarctica (around the South Pole) contains two continental ice sheets--the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS).\n\nContinental glaciers are defined by their size (they cover very large areas of land and/or shallow ocean floor) and by their flow characteristics.  Since they are so large, they may have several different areas of accumulation, but generally flow in a radial pattern--similar to how pancake batter flows radially when you plop a spoonful onto a griddle.\n\nA valley glacier (or alpine glacier) is restricted to a valley.  They generally form at high altitudes near the divides in mountain ranges.  The initial valley they start in is called a cirque.  A small glacier occupying a cirque is called a cirque glacier (see #1 below--theres a bunch of little glaciers sitting in cirques).  When enough snow falls over a period of years, the glacier grows and flows down mountain valleys.  It then becomes a valley glacier.  #2 below is a great photo of a valley glacier--it looks like a river.  A valley glacier can ultimately flow out of its valley onto a piedmont and spread out.\n\nAs Bairdt pointed out, valley glaciers erode the walls of the valley they occupy.  The glaciers flow characteristics cause the valley to look u-shaped if you look at it in cross-section (check out #3 below!  That is as perfect a u-shaped valley as you will ever see).  Stream valleys are typically v-shaped.\n\nCheck out #4--a continental ice sheet.  Note that as far as you can see is ice.

The first humans to reach the Geographic South Pole were Norwegian Roald Amundsen and his party on December 14, 1911.

When you are exactly at  the north or south pole, the compass needle just dangles. It experiences equal force to point in any direction.

They are far apart from one another!\nThey are cold! EXTREMELY COLD! brrrrrrrr \n\nThe South Pole is the southernmost point on the Earth.\nThe North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth.\n\nThe Geographic South Pole is the one of two points where the earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface (the other being the Geographic North Pole). This is the point usually meant when an unspecified "south pole" is mentioned.\nThe Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is close to the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. Geographic North defines latitude 90° North. In whichever direction you travel from here, you are always heading south. The pole is located in the Arctic Ocean. Classically (19th century) this pole was exactly where people believed the pole of rotation met the Earth's surface, but soon astronomers noticed a small apparent variation of latitude as determined for a fixed point on Earth by observing stars. This variation had a period of about 435 days and the periodic part of it is now called the Chandler wobble after its discoverer. It is desirable to tie the system of Earth coordinates (latitude, longitude, and elevations or orography) to fixed landforms. Of course, given continental drift and the rising and falling of land due to volcanos, erosion and so on, there is no system in which all geographic features are fixed. Yet the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the International Astronomical Union have defined a framework called the International Terrestrial Reference System that does an admirable job. The North pole of this system now defines geographic North and it does not quite coincide with the rotation axis. Also see polar motion.

Yes-It was scientifically confirmed in 1912-Where the hell have you been-The South Pole?

Assuming that you are driving from the South Pole to the North Pole and there is a paved road connecting the two, it would be roughly 12,450 miles long.

Let's imagine that there's not lava inside, then as you ascend, you would slowly slowdown, at the center of the planet you wopuld experience zero-gravity, then if you push yourself towards the south pole, you would have to climb out --- you would not be falling, but climbing now.\n\nSo you would come out head-first.\n\nBut it is technically impossible, because of the heat and the pressure at great dephs.

People do live in North Pole.   That is North Pole, Alaska

no i have not. but i know that it is great fun. especially if u go for it with friends. thanks for the idea. i will plan a trip soon.

Sounds cold but have a good time:\nhttp://www.surfline.com/travel/surfmaps/surfmap.cfm?id=37
