Polar bears are believed to travel rarely beyond about 82° North owing to the scarcity of
food, though tracks have been seen in the vicinity of the North Pole, and a 2006
expedition reported sighting a polar bear just 1 mi (1.6 km) from the Pole. The ringed
seal has also been seen at the Pole, and Arctic foxes have been observed less than
60 km (37 mi) away at 89°40′ N.
Birds seen at or very near the Pole include the snow bunting, northern fulmar and black-
legged kittiwake, though some bird sightings may be distorted by the tendency of birds to
follow ships and expeditions.
Fish have been seen in the waters at the North Pole, but these are probably few in
number.
