Irrespective of our starting point, we end up in the most northerly region of the Americas. Some place in the Canadian arctic, the compass needle refuses to indicate a distinct direction; the Earth’s magnetic field points vertically downwards into the ground, this being the so-called magnetic north pole. There is nothing special to see; only the instruments that tell us that the invisible magnetic field which surrounds us at all times is useless for navigation. Eskimos lived in this region without ever worrying about how special it was - it was European scientists’ and sailors’ who found the area interesting, and by the coincidence that the magnetic pole lay where they strove to find the long-sought shortcut to east Asia. But the way was long, in time, distance and knowledge. http://geo.phys.uit.no/articl/roadto.html NURSING Welcome to the American Nurses Association Web site NETHERLANDS http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/nl.html NOTE TO VISITORS, Email any article or link with title that begins with an N, and we will put it on this page.
