	North Pole \| Koordinaten / Informationen / Encyclopedia of terms - North Pole
		The Geomagnetic North Pole is the pole of the Earth's geomagnetic field's dipole moment (somewhat confusingly, it is technically the south pole of the dipole).
		Similar poles exist in the Pacific and Indian oceans, and there is a dry land pole of inaccessibility in the Antarctic.
		The Geomagnetic North Pole is the pole of the Earth's geomagnetic field closest to true north.

	Pole of Inaccessibility — Norwegian-American Scientific Traverse of East Antarctica
		The location of the southern Pole of Inaccessibility is open to some debate, depending on whether one defines the edge of Antarctica by the edge of the ice that rests on land, or the edge of the ice sheet, including the ice shelves.
		These vehicles were driven from McMurdo to the South Pole in the 1960-61 season, and were used on two traverses between the Pole and the Transantarctic Mountains prior to the QMLT traverses.
		The QMLT I traverse left South Pole on 4 December 1964, and arrived at the Pole of Inaccessibility on 28 January 1965.

	The North Pole(s) - All Things Arctic
		Although the Geographic North Pole is the one most commonly referred to -- and the one typically sought by Arctic adventurers -- there are actually three additional poles defined in the Arctic (and, correspondingly, in the Antarctic as well): the Magnetic North Pole, the Geomagnetic North Pole,and the North Pole of inaccessibility.
		The Pole of Inaccessibility and the Geographic Pole are relatively fixed, while the Geomagnetic Pole wanders slightly, depending mainly on solar influences, and the Magnetic Pole migrates several miles annually.
		Currently at latitude 78°30' North, 69° West the Geomagnetic Pole is significant to atmospheric scientists who study the effects of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

	perplexus.info :: General : Continental Pole of Inaccessibility
		A reply was published, calling this point the "continental pole of inaccessibility (CPI)", that said the question was raised in the 1960's when builders of submarine-mounted nuclear missiles wanted to tout an ability to target any point on land from a body of water accessible to the sub fleet.
		The reply stated that the point is at 46°17'N, 86°40'E, in northwest China near the Russian border, and went on to say that the nearest arm of the sea was 2848 km away at Tianjin on the Yellow Sea.
		It stated further, that the sub proponents neglected to mention in promotional literature that as the rockets had barely enough range to cover this distance, that "to strike the pole [of inaccessibility] a large nuclear-powered submarine would practically have to visit Tianjin docks."
