The Earth's Magnetic North Pole, where the magnetic field lines become oriented vertically, moves constantly due to the drift in the Earth's magnetic field. In 2005, the Magnetic North Pole was located at 82.7°N by 114.4°W. To find the magnitudal 2-D land displacement (distance) from the Magnetic North Pole to the True North Pole, multiply the difference between the Magnetic North Pole's latitude (+82.7) and 90 degrees, by 60 nautical miles. (Or: [90-82.7 = 7.3] × 60 = 438 nautical miles). That value was correct for 2005, but keep in mind that any latitudinal shift in the position of the Magnetic North Poll indicates a change in distance between the two.

JordanThe North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
The North Magnetic Pole is currently at about 83 degrees N latitude and 116 degrees W longitude.
The North Magnetic Pole is currently located in the Arctic Ocean north of Canada and is moving north west at an average of 10 km per year since 1903.
In the last couple of years, this movement has speeded up, it is now moving towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles (60 km) per year. Scientists believe that this is caused by an upwelling of magnetism in the Earth's molten core. They have no idea how long this could last, if it will stop or even if it might reverse itself.
There is a difference of about 500 kilometres between the Geographic North and Magnetic North poles.
The geographic South Pole is located at 90 degrees S. The magnetic South Pole is located at 64.28°S 136.59°E. Each line of latitude is about 69 miles. As of 2015, the distance in miles is about 1,774.68.
The North Magnetic Pole is located at about 82.7° North and 114.4° West in 2005 (northwest of Sverdrup Island). However it's not there anymore. Since it was discovered in 1831 it has moved hundreds of kilometers from where it is now.
The average center point of the North Magnetic Pole moves up to 40 km a year more or less towards the west, but it also circles about its average center point at up to 80km/day.

Which is The place that is far away from the equator?
The poles (North Pole and South Pole) are the farthest points from the equator on Earth.
What are the three magnetic poles?
The three magnetic poles are the north magnetic pole, the south magnetic pole, and the geomagnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are where the Earth's magnetic field lines converge and point vertically into or out of the Earth's surface, while the geomagnetic pole is the point on the Earth's surface above the axis of the magnetic field.
What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?
In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.
How far is Norislk from the North Pole in kilometers?
Norilsk is approximately 3,252 kilometers away from the North Pole.
What is the name of the two far end poles of magnet?
The farthest ends of a magnet are called the north pole and the south pole. These poles are where the magnetic field lines enter and exit the magnet, respectively.
