Greenland (part of the Kingdom of Denmark) contains the northernmost point in the world. (83°40'N) is 440 miles from the geographic North Pole.

Canada - Cape Columbia, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut (83°08' N, 74°13'W) is very close to claiming the northernmost point in the world. It's latitude is only 38 miles south of Kaffeklubben Island, Greenland and 478 miles from the North Pole.

Russia - Cape Fligely, Franz Josef Land, Nenets Autonomous Okrug ( 81°50′35″N, 59°14′22″E) is the northernmost point of Eurasia.

1) Greenland beats 2) Canada by only 38 miles and 3) Russia by a hefty marign of 566 miles.

Russia, Canada, Denmark (Greenland), & the United States (Alaska). Russia, incidentally, has been the 1st 2 put a capsuled flag on the ocean floor on the N. Poll, & Denmark may supposedly b the closest 2 the pole if there is a underwater mountain chain that extends from the north of Greenland.

It's either the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, which is part of Canada, or the northern tip of Greenland, which belongs to Denmark. However, to be technical, it would have to be Canada, because Greenland is not part of Denmark, just a possession. As for the South Pole, not counting Antarctica which belongs to several countries, it would have to be Chile, which has land south of Tiera del Fuego in Argentina.

Hi.....

North Pole is located at 64°45′4″N, 147°21′7″W (64.751048, -147.351969)[2]. It is situated 13 miles to the southeast of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway.

The city is located to the north and east of the Tanana River, though access to the river is not easily made due to the extensive system of levees. Beaver Springs Slough meanders through the heart of the city, emptying into Chena Slough

the closest land mass is Kaffeklubben Island which is part of Greenland, a state owned by Denmark. it is only 707km away from the north pole!
