The north pole is the northernmost point on earth at the geographical position 90 ° N in the Arctic Ocean (Arctic).
getting there
By plane to the North Pole
In addition to the often extremely costly possibilities of reaching the North Pole by flight via Longyearbyen on Spitzbergen and landing at the Russian drifting ice station "Borneo" at approx. 89 ° N, there are rare flight expeditions from Germany. North Pole sightseeing flights with overflights of Norway, Svalbard and the North Pole at 90 ° N with modern long-haul aircraft are offered here. These do not land there, but fly circles at a lower cruising altitude over areas that are particularly worth seeing (such as on Svalbard) and the North Pole itself.
- German polar flight - North Pole course. [1]. Offers a full-day Arctic flight once a year from Germany via Norway, the Barents Sea, Svalbard, the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole in a modern Air Berlin Airbus.
By ship to the North Pole
It is also possible by ship North Pole to reach, but it usually takes several months and is associated with a longer ice hike of up to 120 km. At the same time, there is no travel company that offers a boat trip to the North Pole, so the journey must be made by research ship. This method is usually very expensive and time-consuming, since the entire organization has to be done privately. So it is possible but not really practical.
