By observing a compass needle.
You can find the South Pole south of the Equator -- on the continent of Antarctica.
Those points are the north and south poles, respectively.
The South Pole.
The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north. By the same logic, the magnetic polarity of the location called 'Magnetic North' is south.Do NOT confuse locations ('Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South') with magnetic polarities.
The North Pole is at 90 North & the South Pole is at 90 South.
Magnetized water exists only in the heads of magnetic therapists!
You can find the South Pole on Antarctica.
You can find Antarctica at the South Pole. There is no continent at the North Pole.
a compass
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.

It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).
The South Pole.
Opposite the South Pole on planet Earth, you can find the North Pole.
Normally yes. (Not if the axe is magnetized and the part you're approaching is a south pole.)
The south-seeking or, simply, the south pole of a magnet points in the direction of the location on the earth called 'Magnetic South', located in the southern hemisphere. Because 'unlike poles attract, the magnetic polarity of this location is north.
