There is no line at 90º - whether north or south - latitude. It is a point. The poles are located at these points.

The Equator is 0º and the lines of latitude run parallel to that increasing in number as they move away from it, until they get to the 'major' lines - northwards: the Tropic of Cancer at about 23º 26'; then the Arctic Circle at 66º; and then comes the North Pole at 90º. Southwards the Tropic of Capricorn at about 23º 26'; then the Antarctic Circle at 66º and the South Pole at 90º.
