What would happen if I went to the North Pole with a compass?
If I stood exactly on the North Pole with a compass,which way would it point?Or would it spin in circles?

- spin in circles, randomly. There in the north, the magnetic north sort of shifts,..
- which direction would you be facing?
- FROZEN !! :-)
- You would get lost and die from hyperthermia long before you got near the pole.........Years later someone would come along, FIND your compass..... and say....look ....some idiot lost their compass!
- If youre on the NP, than ittl point SW cause the North magnetic pole is SW of the NP. On the Magnetic NP, the compass points to the ground.
- It would point towards the magnetic pole which is somewhat south of the geographical North Pole. The 2005 location of the magnetic north pole is 79.74°N and 71.78°W
