The North Pole is not so much a thing as it is a place: Thursday, August 2, 2007 Russian expedition Arktika 2007 made the first descent to the ocean bottom below the North Pole, and planted a titanium flag of Russia on the seabed. Submarines have in the past traveled below the Arctic ice cap, but this is the first time man has reached the seabed below the North Pole. The Mir-1 and a second Mir-2 submarine face the challenge of diving 13,980 feet (4,261 metres) deep, and then having to resurface at the exact location where they've submerged, because they are not strong enough to penetrate the ice themselves. The nuclear ice-breaker vessel Rossiya is keeping the ice open for the research ship and the submarines. * http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Russia_made_the_first_descent_to_the_ocean_bottom_below_the_North_Pole
The North Pole is located in the Arctic region, which is covered by the Arctic ice cap made of frozen seawater. The ice cap can be several meters thick and covers the ocean surface, creating a floating ice platform. Underneath the ice cap, there is seawater.
The north pole is defined as the meeting place of the earth's axis of rotation and the surface. It wasn't really "formed" except when the earth started spinning.
Maybe you mean the magnetic north pole. Earth's magnetic field is generated and maintained by rotating molten iron in the earth's outer core and forms what's called a Dynamo. As the fluid moves around due to the Coriolis effect, it generates electrical currents, which in turn generate magnetic fields.
