The latitude of the north pole is 90° north. (Similarly, the latitude of the south pole

is 90° south.)

Looking at a globe, you notice that the parallels of latitude are all circles that are

parallel to the equator and to each other, and that the closer a parallel is to the

north or south pole, the smaller it is. Right exactly atthe pole, it's a circle with

zero size, which is just a point. So you might say that the pole itself is the 'line'

of 90° latitude.
