No, what is commonly called the north pole is not in Alaska. The term north pole can be used to mean the polar center of the earth or also the magnetic north point of the earth. There is however a town called North Pole in Alaska. It is located in an area called the "Interior" about 100 miles or so south of the Arctic Circle, near the city of Fairbanks. It lies about 15 miles to the East of Fairbanks. The town changed it's name to North Pole years ago in an attempt to lure toy manufacturers to the community and hopefully provide a source of income and revenue. It never happened but it has boosted tourism and there's even a place called "Santa Claus House", the town is decorated with a Christmas theme year round, and every year during the Christmas season the post office is overwhelmed with mail from around the world by people desiring mail with a post mark of North Pole, Alaska.
