We claim the following:
Astronomers define the north "geographic" pole of a planet in the solar system by the planetary pole that is in the same ecliptic hemisphere as the Earth's north pole.
This can't be right, because axial tilts greater than 90 degrees would be impossible. [NASA] definesnorth pole as followshere:
In astronomy, that end of the axis of rotation of a celestial body at which, when viewed from above, the body appears to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction.
This better matches what I thought the north pole was, and also explains why NASA wouldlist the axial tilts of Uranus and Venus as 98 and 177 degrees, respectively. --Doradus 17:42, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
Canadian Sovereignty of the North Pole
Removed this......
Nevertheless, the North Pole of the Earth may be said to be located in Canada. However, recently,Russia andDenmark are poised to contest this point. In the mid-20th Century, Canada made an official claim to the pole; if no compelling opposition is presented by the mid-21st Century, the pole will officially be considered part of Canada.
The sector principle that Canada uses to claim waters to the north pole is very controversial. The United States in particular refuses to accept it and this.
Can somebody pleas draw a map over the clames, or publish a link. I am trying to find out where I can find a interest in conflict betwen the diferent countys. But it is impossibil, when ther is noe map over what is clamed.

Reuters is reporting that the images of the Russian flag planted on the seabed of the North Pole is a forgery.[1]. The forgery was first spotted by the Finish news paperIlta-Sanomat[2]. The images is taken from the movieTitanic (1997 film)
In 1900-1940 section, there is a citeneed for the claim that Peary's journey is highly disputed, but AFAIK I cannot find any sources, anywhere, that actually dispute this claim (other then sites that directly quote wiki). Should this be deleted or replaced with something more verifiable?Thebest8382 (talk)01:03, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
