North Pole

1. The northernmost point on the earth, as determined by the earth's rotation. This is known as the "geographic" north pole, and has a known fixed position.

2. The north magnetic pole, being the [magnetic pole]? of the earth's magnetic field. It is so named due to its proximity to the geographic pole, but is in fact a south magnetic pole. (Either that, or *every* magnet is mislabelled. Magnetic opposites attract, and your magnet "N" points North!)
