Why doesn't the temperature at the poles rise above 10 C?
Because of the angle between the earth's rotational axis and the sun, even at the height of summer, the sun shines at an oblique angle at the poles, never getting directly overhead, which means that it is filtered through more of the atmosphere, reducing its intensity and thus its warming effects. The net result is that the temperature at the poles seldom rises much above freezing.
Where are House On Poles found?

What is the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility?
The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility (84°03′N 174°51′W) is located on the Arctic Ocean pack ice at a distance farthest from any land mass. It is 661 km (411 statute miles) from the North Pole, 1,453 km (903 mi) north of Barrow, Alaska, and equidistant from the closest landmasses, Ellesmere Island and Franz-Josef Land, 1,094 km (680 mi) away. It was first crossed by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who flew by aircraft in 1927, in 1958 a Russian icebreaker reached this point. The first person to reach the spot on foot was Sir Wally Herbert, who arrived by dog-sled in 1968. Owing to the constant motion of the pack ice, no permanent structure can exist at this pole.

Does the black arrow on a compass point to the north or south?
It depends on a choice made by the person who made your compass; there's no universal standard.

They are not.
In 2015, the magnetic north pole is about 255 miles from the geographic north pole,
and is moving toward Russia at about 35 miles per year.
The south magnetic pole is even more weird. That one is about 1,780 miles from the
geographic south pole, and moving northwest at about 20 miles per year.
Notice that the north and south magnetic poles are NOT directly opposite each other
on the Earth's surface.
