One place it is not located at is the "magnetic North pole" which is where a magnetic compass points to. The compass reading could be as much as 15 degrees different from the direction to the "true" North pole you seem to be referring to depending on where in the US or world you are. It would seem logical that the "true" North pole is located where all the lines of longitude come together at the top of a globe. The lines of latitude are parallel to the earth's equator. The earth's axis that passes through the true South to true North poles is known to "precess" slowly over about a 25,000 year period, I believe, meaning that our planet's axis is slowly wobbling over that period of time as the earth rotates around it. |

There are 2. Geographic north, which is at 90 degrees North Latitude, and there is magnetic north, which changes as the earths magnetic field moves. |

It's located in the most northern parrt of Earth geologically. BUT, compasses do not point to the geological north pole; they point a little away from the pole because that is where the northern magnetic field starts on Earth. |

in the north, DUH! It's not like it'd be called that if it was in South America!! |

The Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is close to the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. Geographic North defines latitude 90° North. In whichever direction you travel from here, you are always heading south. The pole is located in the Arctic Ocean. Classically (19th century) this pole was exactly where people believed the pole of rotation met the Earth's surface, but soon astronomers noticed a small apparent variation of latitude as determined for a fixed point on Earth by observing stars. |

I would say on the top of our planet's axis which is in Earth(our planet) which is located third from the sun in our solar system, the Milky Way, which is located in the midst of a infinitely sized universe. Does that answer your question as to its exact location? |
