The Geographical North Pole. The top of the world.
For centuries, adventurers and explorers tried to get here by sled, ship, aircraft, dogs and balloons. The harsh realities of the Arctic climate defeated every single one of them until as recently as 1948.
Even today, reaching the North Pole is a difficult and challenging journey. Only a select few make it each year.

Here is a unique chance to add your name to the short list of adventurers who have made the ultimate journey to the top of the world.

The Arctic, Earth’s northern polar region, includes the far north of Eurasia and North America and practically the whole Arctic Ocean with all its islands (with the exception of the southern and eastern parts of the Norwegian Sea with their islands) and the adjacent areas of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The border of the Arctic region is defined by the +10оС mean isotherm in the warmest month of the year.
The area of the Arctic is about 25 mn km2, of which 10 mn km2 is land and 15 mn km2 water. It includes parts of Russia, Canada, Denmark (Greenland) and Norway (Spitsbergen).

The North Pole consist of ice and snow. No vegetation and hardly any wildlife.
Few creatures live in the dive site waters, at the North Pole. Comb jellies the size of your palm swim in mid-water, while tiny sandhoppers live on the underside of the ice.

However if we go further south in the Northern Arctic regions we find sparse vegetation such as crustose lichens and on the tundra, 2- or 3-layered communities of mosses, lichens, grasses and shrubs prevail.
The Arctic fauna (on the fringes of the dry land) consists mainly of a few large mammals: polar bears, walruses and seals.

The number of birds varies sharply with the seasons; there are almost none in winter, but an abundance of bird colonies in summer, including eiders, ducks, auks and guillemots. In summer, huge concentrations of food fish gather in the part of the Arctic Ocean that borders the Atlantic.
