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.

Additionally, there is the "Prime Meridian" based on Greenwich, England at 0 degrees longitude, and the "International Date Line" which, with a few aberrations to avoid crossing land, runs more or less in a straight line at 180 degrees longitude.
