North Pole

The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is, subject to the caveats explained below, defined as the point in the northern hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. It should not be confused with the North Magnetic Pole.

Man from Atlantis
Lars Skørba was a modern day pirate who commanded a personal flying submersible called the Red Ray manned by a loyal crew of fellow pirates. Skørba sought the riches of a hidden underground ancient city buried beneath an undiscovered tropical region located in the North Pole. He knew that even with his advanced equipment, he could not safely navigate the underwater trenches leading to the ruins.

To facilitate his goals, Skørba captured Mark Harris, the amphibian colloquially known as the "Man from Atlantis". Keeping him at bay with an electro-collar, he threatened to destroy Mark's friends at the Foundation for Oceanic Research unless he agreed to help him. Mark had little choice but to accept Skørba's demands and the pirate brought him to the North Pole.

Mark discovered the undersea ruins as well as a number of strange prehistoric creatures that should have died ages ago including an ichthyosaur and a green sea serpent. Inside the ruins Mark found the architecture reminiscent of ancient Greece and mused over the notion that it might have been some adjunct of pre-cataclysmic Atlantis. In addition, he found the remains of an ancient king as well as the city's guardian - a barbarian woman named Plaxy and her talking mutant hounds Sirius and Cassiopeia.
