Where does the compass point at north/ south pole?
At the North Pole it would point towards magnetic North as it would at the South Pole. Experiments show that the polarity of the poles changes and these is also a magnetic South Pole. At the Poles there are several areas of magnetism which are many miles apart but the concensus seems to be that the needle of a compass would point to the east. There is also a Geomagnetic North Pole which lies to the east of magnetic North although, technically when standing on the ‘North Pole’ all directions are south.
