Hopefully, the following answers do not appear as spoilers...
I usually posed these questions at three levels.

Level 1 answer: The answer is North Pole. If the students could not get it, I'll give them a hint...
Hint: Sherlock Holmes or Dr Watson? observes a White Bear passes by...

Level 2: Any Alternative answer? Where is the other place beside North Pole? 
Hint: You may observe another kind of Polar Bear.

Level 3: There are more alternative answers! Where are they?

Good Luck!
