This looks like it could be near some research stations - or maybe not? I'm not sure. Google Maps won't plot it properly as the Mercator projection it uses distorts to infinity near the poles. Intrigued to see just how close to the North Pole 89deg N actually is. --SpiritofMaurice (talk) 11:01, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
