Abstract: Hinode/SOT data have been used to study supergranulation in the polar region. Although foreshortening generally makes it difficult to observe the polar region in detail, to partially overcome the difficulty we use the high-resolution Hinode/SOT observations of the polar regions during the period of the highest inclination of the solar axis to the ecliptic. By time-distance helioseismology we have found ‘alignment’ of the supergranular cells peculiar in the polar region. This might be an indication of the giant-cell structure in the polar region.
