Technically speaking, if you were to stand at the North Pole there would be only the direction considered south. Compasses work off of magnetic pole, we refer to this as the "North Pole." A compass always shows the direction of North, so imagine standing at the North Pole and trying to go east, it wouldn't work too well because as you go east the compass reading would change.
