		The Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is the basis for the astronomic north pole, which is defined as approximately the point at which the axis of rotation meets the surface rotating counter-clockwise around the axis as observed from space.
		The Magnetic North Pole is one of the two poles of the Earth's geomagnetic field's dipole moment, specifically the one that is closest to the geographic north pole.
		The north and south poles of magnets (the dipoles) are named for the poles of the earth they are attracted to when used as compasses, which was one of the original uses of magnets (see magnetism).

		If we allow a bar magnet to swing freely on a string, the end that points towards the geographic north pole is called the north seeking pole of the magnet, and is labeled "N" since it is the North magnetic pole of the magnet.
		This pole near the geographic north pole is sometimes called the geomagnetic north pole.
		Therefore the earth's south magnetic pole is located near the geographic north pole and is called the geomagnetic north pole.
