posting - the erection of a thick, vertical length of wood in any suitable piece of ground, for the purpose of providing a post or pole on which may be mounted signs, fencing, a mailbox, a building structure, a birdhouse, or numerous other handy structures.

The North Pole is rumoured to be a post of some sort. So too, the South Pole. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet and assorted friends went looking for the North Pole one time, and Pooh found it. He's that kind of bear.
