It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.

I think it is Holland/Netherlands by a quite a bit.  Next might be Sweden.  Then it might be Canada.

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.

People do not live AT the north Pole because it is ocean, frozen in the winter.  They live nearer to the north pole because the is land reaching towards that area from areas that are wram enough to live.  The South Pole is many hundreds of miles from the coast of Antarctica.  Antarctica is completely isolated from major land masses that are populated.  Antarctica is a high ice cover plateau which is much colder than the northern equivalent (see source FAQ for why).\n\nNo people settled in Antarctica.  However these days there are year round scientific stations in Antarctica.  At the very South Pole it would be impossible to live there without modern support infrastructure.  I've spent over 2 years at the South Pole (the actual pole!) working as a scientist.  But in some ways everyone is always just a visitor.  I have a friend that has spent over 5 years there!  He is also still a visitor.\n\nSo - South Pole is much colder.  But the actual North Pole is ocean and no one lives there either.  People live neaer the Norht Pole because it is warmer and closer to inhabited areas.\n\nDAS

It's actually a play of words. It's not hot because of low pressure... is low pressure because it's hot.\n\nThe coldness of the north pole has nothing to do with altitude... it's more about the actual amount of energy it receives from the sun during the year. I believe you're mixing up a couple of concepts here.

Iceland is part of Europe, but Greenland is not a continent, just FYI on that. It's part of North America.

Wyoming's northern border is the 45 degree North latitude line--or half the distance between the equator and the north pole

Despite what the other people think, the South Pole has no polar bears.  If house is at the North Pole, which it must be if all the sides face south, then the bear will be a polar bear.  So White is its color.

there are, bi-athelons. Not popular up north but towards coastal areas they are because of the lack of mountains or any kind of elevation.

good question. As long as you have money, everybody will be your best friend but if you're poor then i'm afraid North Pole is the only place for you!

The North Magnetic Pole is at roughly 87°N, 114°W.  A proper analysis of your problem requires spherical trigonometry, which I am not well versed, so I'm going to use flat rectangular approximations.  The angle between your line to the NMP and the NP, or your magnetic bearing to the North Pole can be approximated as arctan((90-87)/(114 - long1)  The bearing to your destination will be arctan((90-87)/(114 - long1) + arctan((long2 - long1)/(latt2 - latt1)).\n\nThese rough approximations will need course corrections enroute.  You can't follow your compass heading to your destination in any case, since the apparent angle getween Magnetic North and True North will change as you travel, unless you are travelling on the Great Circle that passes through both poles.

The chart shows that refrigerator sales being made by this guy named Johnson are huge in the North Pole.  Question - since it's so cold there, why do people in the North Pole need refrigerators?  It's a poke at the ability of salespeople to persuade others into buying things they don't necessarily need, and a poke at those people for being persuaded I suppose.

Other countries tend to enter into territories not their own.  Perhaps this is because they want to contain any "bad" factors that could affect the entire globe.

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.
