how many people live at the north pole currently?

I'm trying to figure out how many people are at the geographic north pole on average, or on any given day. I figure anyone living there is probably a researcher of some sort, and was curious as to how many there were on any given day. My guess is around 2.

1. none, dear one. It's uninhabitable. It's ocean, covered by ice.
2. Not me. Now you can eliminate one from the list. Wait... My friend here says he is also not at the North Pole currently, so thts 2 off your list. You will know after you get 6 billion more answers like this.
3. one... santa... oh wait, two.. santa and the missus.. the rest are elves, and not people =D
4. None.
5. none
6. well i would cuz i like being alone..but they say its going to melt
7. No one lives at the North Pole. I guess this is because the North Pole is on top of a fairly thin layer of floating ice, which tends to move around and crack. However, some people live at the South Pole: "Today the South Pole boasts a summer population of around 125, dropping to about 30 in winter." http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northeast/series7/south_pole.shtml
8. Well,there`s Santa,Mrs.Claus,the Elves and the Reindeer.
