"90 degrees north latitude" is the definition of the Earth's north pole. If you're suspended

over it looking down at it, then you see the Earth rotating counterclockwise around it.

"90 degrees south latitude" is the definition of the Earth's south pole. If you're suspended

over it looking down at it, then you see the Earth rotating clockwise around it.

Note:

In both cases, "down" means "toward the center of the Earth from where you are".
