Arctic Map >The Subarctic The North Pole is actually not on land. Instead, it is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, which is dotted with many large and small islands and almost entirely surrounded by land. Many people think that the North Pole is on land because the sea there is frozen...
The Arctic is one of the Earth’s great un-spoilt wildernesses and everyone knows that at its centre is the North Pole. It is bounded by an imaginary line known as the Arctic Circle. Rather than simply being defined as a simple line of latitude, the position of the Arctic Circle is de...
We corroborate many previous observations of trough migration such as: the general poleward and stratigraphically upward migration from the TMP initiation point; the broadly similar depth of trough initiation across the cap; regional variability in TMP morphology; and the presence of buried promon...
Mars' polar ice deposits are thought to preserve a record of climate throughout their evolution. In addition to the large north polar layered deposits (NPLD) at Mars' north pole, smaller ice deposits are preserved in craters nearby. These outlying deposits were potentially formed by the same me...
The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is, subject to the caveats explained below, defined as the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. It should not be confused with the North Magnetic Pole. ...
The new island was located about 800 meters north of the islet of Oodaaq, which until then had been considered the closest piece of land to the North Pole, thus becoming the northernmost point of the Greenlandic border. Christiane Leister in July 2021 on the newly discovered northernmost isla...

2). While there are differences in these trajectories depending on deployment site, which we explore below, it is important to stress that not only are these pathways not confined to the boundaries, there is no evidence of a broad-scale pattern of poleward interior flow, an expectation ...
In addition, there were some deep wells in the area with very low tritium concentrations, indicating a lack of connectivity between the mixing pole and deeper aquifers. Fig. 7 Tritium vulnerability Map Full size image Fig. 8 Plot of δ18O Vs 3H Full size image 5 Discussions In this study...
