The upper half of the Earth is called as the Northern Hemisphere and the end point of the southern hemisphere on the upper side is called as the North Pole. Many groups of scientists and students visit the area surrounding the Green Land named country at the North Pole regularly. This place has a surface area of 8 lakh forty thousand square kilometers out of which an area of 6 lakh forty thousand square kilometers gets covered with ice always. The density of the ice layer is found up to 1 mile at some spots here. Small hill like things gets formed by breakage of ice layer due to increased weight of gathered ice on layers. These are called as icebergs. As per expectations of scientists, about 20,000 icebergs have been forming at North Pole every year. These icebergs sometimes are obstructing the sea channels for transportation. About 15 ships have been drowned in sea due to the obstruction of icebergs during the period from 1870-1890.
