The north and south poles are the point where all lines of longitude meet and therefore cannot have a longitudinal coordinate. They are also the maximum angular distance from the equator, from which latitude is measured.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
The North Pole is located at the northernmost point of the Earth. The South Pole is located at the southernmost point of the Earth.

120 South is the wrong latitude. Lines of latitude begin at zero on the Equator. Then at the north and south poles, the latitude can only go up to 90 North and 90 south. Therefore, 120 south is off the scale.

The North and South Poles respectively.
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
The Geographic Poles are just points; 90 Degrees North or South Latitude.

There is no such coordinate as 100 degrees latitude, either north or south. The maximum latitude number is 90 degrees, at the north and south poles.
At the North and South Poles of the Earth.
