"And his illustration of the D's struggling up the snow slope to the misty shape of the North Pole (WH p.323 Cape 1948) is pure magic; it's nearly 60 years since I first saw it, and it's remained vividly in my mind for all that time."
Yes, it is a good illustration, but an even better one is Helene Carter's version in the American Lippencott editions. In that one, we see Nancy going up to a very snug looking North Pole building, with the D's looking out. Since I don't have an easy way to link it here, I put it in the North Pole file under photos, on the Tarboard yahoo group;

There are photos in that album (created by someone else) about the location of the building.
If anyone else can do an easy link to put the photo up here, please feel free to do so.
