Distance between Kirkland Lake, Canada and the North Pole
4659 km = 2895 miles
During our calculation of the distance to the North Pole we make two assumptions:
- We assume a spherical Earth as a close approximation of the true shape of the Earth (an oblate spheroid). The distance is calculated as great-circle or orthodromic distance on the surface of a sphere.
- We calculate the distance between a point on the Earth’s surface and the North Pole as the length of the arc of the meridian passing through this point and the North Pole.

The North Pole
The North Pole is a point where imaginary Earth’s axis of rotation crosses the Earth's surface in the Northern Hemisphere.The North Pole is the northernmost place on Earth. The North Pole latitude is 90° North. The North Pole longitude is undefined, because the North Pole is a point where all the meridians meet.
For the same reason the North Pole has no time zone.
For software and devices using GPS satellite navigation system 0° West may be used as conditional North Pole longitude.
The North Pole’s coordinates: 90°00′00″ N
