How was north pole discovered?

When we say North Pole most people think of Santa.

This place is really cool, I mean it both the ways! So today let's know about its discovery.... Let's explore!

All the credit for its discovery goes to Sir John Ross. He aroused from failure to discover the Magnetic north pole.

The first expedition of this Scottish Rear Admiral ended in a failure. He launched a second expedition in 1829. However, this expedition also seemed to go the way of the first, when in the Boothia Peninsula, his ship became struck on ice. The crew was stranded there for four years.

During this period, with the help of the local Inuit or Eskimos, they explored the regions of the west and north. During one of these explorations, Ross discovered the Magnetic North pole on the Boothia Peninsula, on 1 June 1831.

There are actually two North poles which has two different definitions. Unlike the South Pole, which lies over the continent of Antarctica, there is no land beneath the North Pole but more of a floating Arctic ice sheet that expands during colder months and shrinks to half its size in the summer. To complicate things even more, there are two different definitions of the North Pole. The first is the north magnetic pole, which is, quite literally, a magnetic phenomenon which changes daily depending on changes under the Earth's crust. Additionally, there is a north terrestrial pole, which is the fixed point that references the top of the Earth.
