The magnetic north is slowly moving. As of 2015, the magnetic north pole is projected to have moved beyond the Canadian Arctic territorial claim to 86.3 degrees North, 160 degrees West.
The magnetic north pole is slowly wandering across the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia.
A magnetic pole is where the magnetic effect is greatest.
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
If, by 'south magnetic pole', you means 'Magnetic South', then the answer is the magnet's south pole. On the other hand, if you are referring to a south magnetic polairty, then the answer is the magnet's north pole.
The magnetic north pole is slowly wandering across the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia.
Earth's north magnetic pole is the point on Earth where the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards. It is currently drifting towards Russia at a rate of about 10 kilometers per year. This pole is different from the geographic North Pole, which is the point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface.
The Earth's magnetic poles do in-fact 'wander' over the years. Estimates put the movement of the North Pole at 34-37 miles (55 and 60 kilometres) per year. The magnetic poles are not always directly opposite each other. There is a good article on Wikipedia with more information - search for 'north magnetic pole'.
when you are close to the magnetic north pole, the declination will be so variable and unpredicatable that a magnetic compass becomes all but useless. You also need to consider the effect of local magnetic anomalies and polar wandering. felicity knows whats up<3

Where is the magnetic pole
the north pole (or south poled during periods of magnetic reversal) has remained fixed and the continents have moved in relation to the pole. Page 90 Chapter Three
North.
They have a North Magnetic Pole and a South Magnetic Pole.
