The first submarine to travel under the North Pole was the USS Nautilus, a nuclear-powered sub from the United States. In 1958, it made history by becoming the first vessel to reach the geographic North Pole, traveling completely underwater. The journey was top-secret at the time and called "Operation Sunshine."
