how many people have reached north pole yet?

There are actually five different North Poles.\n\n1.  When not otherwise qualified, the term North Pole usually refers to the Geographic North Pole – the northernmost point on the surface of the Earth, where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the Earth's surface. \n\n2.  The North Magnetic Pole – the point on the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field points directly downwards. This pole is constantly wandering; its estimated 2005 position was 82.7° N 114.4° W. \n\n3.  The North Geomagnetic Pole – the point of intersection of the Earth's surface with the axis of a simple magnetic dipole (like a bar magnet) that best approximates the Earth's actual more complex magnetic field. Like the North Magnetic Pole it constantly wanders; as of 2005 it was located at approximately 79.74° N 71.78° W. \n\n4.  The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility – the point in the Arctic Ocean farthest from land, at 84°03′N 174°51′W. \n\n5.  The North Celestial Pole – an imaginary point in the northern sky towards which the Earth's axis of rotation points. \n\nMost people are talking about North Pole #1, though, when they refer to it--so that's what i'm going with for your answer, okay?\n\n~~\nSo how many people have reached the North Pole?  For centuries, countless explorers, servicemen, scientists and tourists have attempted to reach the North Pole. Methods of travel have included ships, balloons, aircraft, dog-sleds, skidoos and even a motorbike, as well as the arduous business of sledge-hauling. More expeditions have failed than succeeded, and it is estimated that only 72 people have reached the North Pole from the coast by surface traverse.\n\nThe above was as of 1996.  Things have changed since then in a BIG way.  Heck, today you can book an adventure tour there and back--and have gourmet food cooked for you nightly by your guides.  For example:\n1.

You can do some digging (see my list of sources below as a place to start) if you want more.  Otherwise, you might try googling " "North Pole" successful expeditions " if you want others.\n\n1.  First (disputed) expedition to the geographic North Pole: Robert Edwin Peary and his employee Matthew Henson and four Inuit men Ootah, Seegloo, Egingway, and Ooqueah. April 9, 1909 \n\n2.  First people to sight it: Roald Amundsen and his sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth from an aircraft piloted by Umberto Nobile, between 11 May and 13 May 1926 \n\n3.  First people to reach it: Lt. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher and Lt. William P. Benedict landed their plane. May 3, 1952 \n\n4.  First naval vessel to reach it: the USS Skate (SSN-578). March 17, 1959 \n\n5.  First to reach the North Pole by surface travel: team led by Sir Wally Herbert. 1968-69 \n\n6.  First (confirmed) surface conquest: Ralph Plaisted. April 19, 1968 \n\n7.  First reigning monarch to reach it: Albert II, Prince of Monaco. Easter Sunday, 16 April 2006 \n\n8.  The United States Navy submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571) crossed the North Pole on August 3, 1958, and on March 17, 1959, the USS Skate (SSN-578) surfaced at the pole, becoming the first naval

THat depends whether they are at the north or south pole.

The polar diameter of the earth is 12,714 km.  So the actual distance between the north and south pole is 12,714km.  The meridional of the earth is 40,008 km (the circumference going around the poles).  So, if you walked, you would walk at least 20,004 km from North to South pole.

The first Mars Rover made the trip in eight months.\nIt's about fifty million miles away.\nI don't know how cold it is.

The short answer has to be yes - and for several reasons:\na) as someone has pointed out there are plenty of steep places which are pretty much inaccessible eg in mountainous areas,\nb) there are plenty of areas of land locked away under glaciers and ice-sheets eg Antarctica,\nc) there are pieces of new land which are still awaiting the first human footsteps eg new mudbanks emerging from rivers or sea,\nd) some isolated areas which could be trodden but due to low population densities it's just that nobody has as yet.\n\nA more interesting question might be 'What is the largest contiguous area of land which nobody has set foot on?'  It is of course just about unanswerable because who's been keeping records!?

They are far apart from one another!\nThey are cold! EXTREMELY COLD! brrrrrrrr \n\nThe South Pole is the southernmost point on the Earth.\nThe North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth.\n\nThe Geographic South Pole is the one of two points where the earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface (the other being the Geographic North Pole). This is the point usually meant when an unspecified "south pole" is mentioned.\nThe Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is close to the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. Geographic North defines latitude 90° North. In whichever direction you travel from here, you are always heading south. The pole is located in the Arctic Ocean. Classically (19th century) this pole was exactly where people believed the pole of rotation met the Earth's surface, but soon astronomers noticed a small apparent variation of latitude as determined for a fixed point on Earth by observing stars. This variation had a period of about 435 days and the periodic part of it is now called the Chandler wobble after its discoverer. It is desirable to tie the system of Earth coordinates (latitude, longitude, and elevations or orography) to fixed landforms. Of course, given continental drift and the rising and falling of land due to volcanos, erosion and so on, there is no system in which all geographic features are fixed. Yet the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the International Astronomical Union have defined a framework called the International Terrestrial Reference System that does an admirable job. The North pole of this system now defines geographic North and it does not quite coincide with the rotation axis. Also see polar motion.

Currently, the earth's north magnetic pole moves about 40 kilometers per year.  The rate has varied considerably; it was only 10 km per year a century ago.

The south pole has a manned base and in the middle of a wide-open flat area.  The north pole is somewhere in a huge conglomerate of unstable icebergs, is constantly shifting, and has no operations base.

The north pole is not on a continent.  It is in the middle of the arctic ocean which has a frozen ice cap.

white b/c you're at the north pole

The axis, and therefore, poles, gravitational pull is slowly changing. (Therefore changing due Norths position.)  That's alot of observant Sailors.

the more north during the winter months you go from the equator, the longer the it stays dark, there is one day in a year in North Pole where it will stay dark for 24 hours, the same holds true for the southern hemisphere during its respective winter time.

There are two of them; one on the North Pole, and one on the South Pole. The hole over the south pole is larger and more complete. The hole over the North Pole is more of a thin area. The Good news is that because we have limited our use of Fluorocarbons these holes seem to be slowly repairing themselves.

The north pole is +90 degrees, or 90 degrees north; south pole is -90 degrees, or 90 degrees south.

The North Pole is on frozen water, but this is soooo frozen, it can be traversed as with land provided the vehicles are equipped for snow/ice treading.
