It's why it's called the North Pole - eviltoast

      I’m too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:

      • Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand

      • Let us assume that the “pole” attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M

      • With this, it would mean that a 2cm “pole” on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.

      Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.
