Web: Set Location to North Pole?

[dflateau]

I'm simply trying to use Stellarium Web to show my students circumpolar stars at the north pole.

Is it impossible to set the location of Stellarium Web to the 90 N, any longitude? I feel like I've tried everything, including dragging the map pin, but the pin has to be on land.

Thanks in advance for this simple request!

OK, move to the pole and look west. straight west. -- Oops, there is only south here!

While this desktop developer cannot answer detailed questions about the web version, I can only guess that setting yourself into a singularity is problematic as you cannot look into any defined azimuth. Go to 89.9°, should be close enough.

The question is about "move to the pole" - there doesn't appear to be a way to do that. Or even close to it, like 89.9N. The closest I can get is northern Greenland, about 83.4N

Looks Like South Pole comes up as a location, and it puts you there, but North Pole is missing, and not allowed on the web. It seems like it's a water/land issue or decision made?
