Where is the North Pole?
There are actually two North Poles: a geographic North Pole and a magnetic North Pole. The geographic North Pole is defined as the northern end of the Earth’s axis, from which all directions on Earth lie south. While the geographic North Pole is the true northernmost point on the earth, the magnetic North Pole is recognized as North by magnetic compasses. Both poles, however, are located in different positions. The magnetic North Pole continually moves across the Arctic and currently lies in northern Canada, about 1000 miles south of the geographic North Pole!
