Has anyone driven to the North Pole?
Has anyone driven to the North Pole? First to drive an automobile to the North Pole was Jeremy Clarkson with James May and a crew of 7 others to assist and document the journey. They drove a modified Toyota Hilux and completed the trip faster than a dog sled they were racing.
Why is North Pole not on Google Maps?
Google Maps does not show the North Pole because it is impossible to accurately project the Earth's shape at the poles using the Mercator projection. The Mercator projection, characterized by its cylindrical nature, distorts the shape of the Earth at the poles, giving rise to a visual enlargement.
