In PM, there are several references to the "North Pole":

"I remember," said Dorothea, thinking of Rio Bay all iced and thick with skating Eskimos on that winter day when she and Dick had sailed a sledge in a blizzard and found the North Pole.

"North Pole?" suggested Dorothea. "There's sure to be a bookshop at the head of the lake. Have we got time to go the whole way?"

Dorothea pulled it up and put the peg in to hold it. With the wind aft and the sail well out, Scarab slipped along the island shore and out into open water. Rio Bay was left astern. They were off, past Cache Island, to the head of the lake that they had visited only once when, sailing a sledge in blinding snow, they had been the first to reach the North Pole.

"If we can," said Dorothea, "we'll be nearer to where we saw all those lights when we were at the North Pole. You can see houses there now, a regular settlement. That's where the bookshop will be."
-----
"There's the North Pole anyway," said Dorothea, pointing to the little summerhouse with its flagstaff.

"We were pretty late," said Dorothea. "We'd been to the head of the lake beyond the North Pole."
