All north latitudes, including 55°, are located in the northern Hemisphere, but half in the eastern and half in the western. All west longitudes, including 47°, are located in the western Hemisphere, but half in the northern and half in the southern. So you'd have to say that this point is in the north-western 'quarter-sphere'.
