What are the points on the celestial sphere that are directly overhead at earths poles?
They're called the celestial poles and they move over time (due to Earth's precession).If the axis of the Earth were extended into space, the North Pole would point almost exactly at the giant star appropriately called Polaris, in the tail of the Little Bear or handle of the Little Dipper. The South Pole doesn't have so convenient a marker; it would fall several degrees away from the long axis of a small bright asterism known as Crux, the Southern Cross. The nearest visible star to the south celestial pole is a very dim star called Sigma Octantis, and even it's not really all that close to the pole (about a degree away).By 4000 AD, the celestial south pole will be very near the significantly brighter (though, at about magnitude 4, still quite a bit dimmer than Polaris) Gamma Chameleontis. At that time the north celestial pole will be very close to Gamma Cephei, a magnitude 3.2 star (also dimmer than Polaris, which is magnitude 2).Unfortunately, between now and then, the celestial poles won't point to any stars in particular. By about 3000AD, there will be no notable stars very near either of them.

What is the only direction you can travel from the North Pole to south on land?
If you're standing at the north pole, you can travel in any direction you feel like.But no matter which direction you go from there, it's south.One way to understand that is: No matter what direction you travel from the north pole,if you just keep going long enough and far enough, you'll wind up at the south pole.
How long did Shackleton's Antarctic expedition take?

Where does the earth's axis begin and end?
I believe this is correct: Theoretically, the axis is infinitely long, extending into space toward the north from the north pole, and toward the south from the south pole. When you reach the north pole, that is not the farthest north that you can travel; if you are able to go up, you will continue going north.

When the north pole is tilted towards the sun and the south pole away from the sun what do the people do in south pole?
