Very very cold!
polar land are always cold because the place is far away from the sun so there is not enofe sun hear. Santa does not live here!!!!!!!! receding unsigned comment added by 68.111.78.223 (talk) 01:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if I'm doing this right, but: 'instantaneous pole' is used in this article without being defined or linked to; I would link to it myself, but no such article exists. (and thus I have no idea what it means.)
Where are the editors??? "The North Pole, is very, very cold. It is just a giant piece of ice on top of the world" is just too colloquial! Kemet 13 Dec 2005.
Fixed. You could have as well! (ESkog)(Talk) 03:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't get this (unless there is some legerdemain involved, my compass points north, which is to the north of my current location--how can the pole to the north be a south pole?): Tokerboy
Magnetic pole
1. 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!)
I saw on a Newton's Apple episode many years ago that what is called the north magnetic pole is in fact the south pole of the earth's magnetic field. This fact was later confirmed by one of my geology professors but I haven't been able to find a printed confirmation from a reputable source. A figure in one of my geology textbooks does show the lines of force for the earth's magnetic field go into the north magnetic pole as if it were actually the south pole of a magnet though. --mav
It was noticed that one end of bar magnets pointed northward long before the reason for this was understood. By convention, the end of the magnet that pointed toward the north was called the "north seeking pole", and over time this is shortened to "north pole". The north-seeking pole of the magnet is being attracted to the south-seeking pole of the earth (opposites poles attract) - which happens to be in the geographic north. Confusing, but there it is. And to make it worse, some magnets are labeled wrong.... -- Someone else 07:23 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC)
I'm quite upset that the article for Magnetic North Pole redirects to North Pole, while it lies close to the South Pole. The article are therefore flawed, and should be fixed. Funny, but upsetting, that the paragraph about Magnetic North Pole actually says it's the Magnetic South Pole. It's like having an article about the U.S., while describing Russia, and actually saying it's it describing Russia, but then what the hell it this description doing in an article about the US? The Magnetic North Pole is on the Southern Hemishere, all geology professors know this, it shouldn't be hard to find references for it.

Hm. Interesting. I just hope a magnetic pole shift happens soon to sort this all out. We are a couple hundred thousand years overdue. Just make sure you have plenty of sunscreen since the magnetosphere may not be able to protect us very well for some time afterward (but there is no evidence in the geologic record to suggest that mass extinctions occur during the transitions). --mav
I hope it's not as anticlimactic as the millenium...I'll have to order up some fireworks and some Biere de Miele to make the wait worthwhile....:) --SE
It won't sort it out. The current situation is relatively simple. If the Earth's magnetic poles reverse, people will relabel their compasses so that they still point to geographic north. The confusion will be at least an order of magnitude larger:-)
