Q. Who discovered North Pole?
Answer: Robert Peary
Notes: The North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth, lying diametrically opposite the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90° North as well as the direction of true north. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value. Robert Edwin Peary was an American explorer who claimed to have led the first expedition, on April 6, 1909, to reach the geographic North Pole.
