I understand the Golarion World Map is explicitly not to scale, but it still leaves me wondering, how far, approximately, is the Crown of the World/North Pole (I'm not too knowledgeable about the Crown of the World, so I'm not exactly sure if it represents precisely the North Pole of the region near it) from the Inner Sea region?
It's mainly for a campaign I'm currently working on, that will have an important "Let Us Traverse the Northern Frost Atop These Quant Numerian Machines While Hunting Mammoths and Linnorm!" segment.
Just a rough estimate would help me greatly.
Thanks beforehand.
The Jade Regent Map Folio includes a really nice poster map of the Crown of the World.
The world map in the ISWG distorts the North Pole quite a bit as it flattens and stretches the top of a globe (just as our own world maps make a mess of Antarctica).
Ooh, I did not know that! I had not paid much attention to Jade Regent because I didn't have anything planned for that region of Golarion, but this might just change my mind.
I'll check it up.
Thank you very much, Jeven.

:Edit: What Jeven said. The Hungry Storm is the issue in particular you will want, as the gazetteer is pretty fething cool.
Until then, here are some much less impressive wordy answers to your OP Klaus.
From Avistan to Tian Xia it is in the neighborhood of 3000 miles from the Rimethirst Mountains to the Wall of Heaven. From Thremyr's Shield to Tashen Yakuta (the perpendicular measurement) is something like 2000ish miles. The Crown of the World region does include the North Pole, and there is a 1500 mile x 1500 mile donut hole of polar ice cap in the center of the region. The north pole itself is the location of the Nameless Spires.
I really like wordy answers! (See: almost every post I've ever made.)

Am I the only one who got a bit giggly when noticing that the four map roses* on the Crown of the World map all point north?

Awesome! Thank you very much, Herbo.

Where does it connect to Avistan? North of Iobaria or is the connection to Irrisen and the Linnornm Kingdoms? I lean towards Iobaria
It's connected to Avistan from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings to the Lake of Mists and Veils. The main route across it from Tian Xia to Avistan—the Path of Aganhei—branches at the Rimethirst Mountains, with one branch leading southwest to Kalsgard in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings and the other southeast to Icestair in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords.

Does anyone know where I can find a map of the crown of the world?
as Herbo says above, The Hungry Storm is the most complete information on the crown of the world. I think there is some in People of the North as well, but not much.
Jeven mentions above that a large poster map of the crown of the world was in the Jade regent map folio.
I'm pretty sure the equator is slightly below the bottom edge of the Inner Sea map.
