  • South Magnetic Pole the shifting point on the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field points directly upwards
  • South Geomagnetic Pole the point of intersection of the Earth's surface with the axis of a simple magnetic dipole (like a bar magnet) that best approximates the Earth's actual more complex magnetic field
  • Southern pole of inaccessibility the point in Antarctica farthest from the sea
  • South celestial pole an imaginary point in the southern sky towards which the Earth's axis of rotation points
  • South Pole Wall a massive wall of galaxies extending over 700 light-years across the universe

Physics

  • Originally by analogy with the Earth's magnetic field, the terms "north pole" and "south pole" are also applied to magnets in general
