Stupid questions
William Reed asked a number of questions revealing he did not know what he talked about. Item number 4 is not an obvious question and I don’t know what he meant with it. This article only explains that Roald Amundsen did reach the South Pole five years after the book was printed. Out of the remaining 12 questions number 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 11 and 14 have scientific explanations. As far as I know questions 6, 7 and 12 are simply not true. Nights are no longer near the poles: it is the differences in length of day which gradually increase as you get more and more away from the equator. Meteors don’t fall more near the poles than they do on lower latitudes. I have never heard of the polar regions being particularly dusty. Anyone who can verify or disprove this claim?

Removal of sabotage
I have eased the last phase stating that no-one knows if ther is any hole at the North Pole. In fact, the North Pole was visited at least 21 times 1926 – 2000. During the last 15 year it has been reccurently visited. Anyone who belives the North Pole to be unexplored must be ignorant on his or her own ignorance.
