Question mark vs period
The sentence itself is a statement. However people commonly use a statement as a question. In the latter case the question is implied.
I’m wondering what the meaning of ‘going north’ is. Can anyone tell me?
When spoken, the difference between a statement and question is more clear. Like most questions, the pitch rises.
If the sentence starts with “May I…” then it is a question.
As for the placement of the word ‘is’, I prefer it at the end.
The placement in your first sentence is common with ESL speakers, but not native speakers.
