The '''North Pole''' is the point that is farthest north on [[Earth]]. It is the point on which axis of Earth turns. It is in the Arctic Ocean and it is cold there because the [[sun]] does not shine there for about half a year and never rises very high. The ocean around the pole is always very cold and it is covered by a thick sheet of ice.<ref>{{Cite web|title=An Active Arctic Where Sea Ice Meets the Midnight Sun|url=https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/earth-expeditions/2020/07/24/an-active-arctic-where-sea-ice-meets-the-midnight-sun/|website=[[NASA]]|access-date=21 September 2026}}</ref> There is also a Magnetic North Pole. It is near the physical North Pole. A compass points toward the magnetic North Pole.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What do the different north arrows on a USGS topographic map mean?|url=https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-do-different-north-arrows-a-usgs-topographic-map-mean|website=[[United States Geological Survey|USGS]]|access-date=21 September 2026}}</ref> There is a star called the North Star (or Polaris) that is always in the sky above the North Pole. People can tell how far north they are by seeing how high the North Star appears in the sky.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Five Things You Didn't Know About the North Pole|url=https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/news/five-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-north-pole|website=NOAA|access-date=21 September 2026}}</ref>
