    Shouldn't it be "du pôle Nord" ?

      Actually, it is better with "du", but you would have to switch the objects' order because "du" after "traîneau" could be mistaken for a possessive:

      • Le Père Noël vient du pôle Nord en traîneau.

      Both depuis le and du should be correct here.

      This sentence confuses me, I always thought depuis is only used for times, not for locations?
