Who owns the North Pole?

I dunno; but I understand that Santa has given up on sump pumps and is investing in SCUBA gear for all his Elves.

The north Pole belongs to me.

 

[Klarus]

Nobody. Besides, in a matter of decades there won't be a North Pole anyhow.

Well, hopefully there will be, but I think you know what I mean. You know that there are shipping routes (for trucks) across it, though? Pretty intreresting to me. That'd be one hell of a drive.

So if no one owns the north pole seriously then can one just go and claim it?
i mean who is to stop them?

I hope the polar bears are good running Casinos cause here I come!

 

[Mrvile]

If the polar ice caps melt and just become water, that means theres no more north pole? How is that suppose to work?

 

[LawnGnome]

The true north pole is just ocean if i remember correctly, the closest town is resolute bay, Nunavut, Canada.

But it depends if you mean true north or magnetic north.

I've been there, 11 Nov 2005 onboard the USS CHARLOTTE. We surfaced for 24 hours. It was the darkest I've ever experience, not a star in the sky. There was a 20 knot wind and with wind chill it was -55 F. I never want to be that cold again..... Whom ever owns it can keep that place.....

it's 2x the oil of Saudi Arabia.... you guys still don't want it?

i believe both the North Pole and the South Pole are neutral lands which are set apart and dedicated purely to scientific research.

 

[Samgotit]

It's times like this I look to our leaders to reply that we saw it first.

Seriously, if he takes over the North Pole, who's going to fight over it? The UN scientific community? Are they gonna give him nasty looks or something???

ahahah, Putin's gonna get what he wants in the North Pole.

I wish people would be as zealous about finding alternative fuel options as they are about wringing those last few drops of oil out of the earth.

There aren't too many options for your average consumer. Not without spending a good chunk of change.
