South Geomagnetic Pole (Geography Dictionary)

South Geomagnetic Pole : Also called the Geomagnetic South Pole.

The point in the Southern Hemisphere where the axis of a theoretical simplified dipole passing through the center of the Earth would intersect the Earth’s surface. It is antipodal to the North Geomagnetic Pole. Because of the fluid nature of the Earth’s molten core, the true axis of the Earth’s magnetic field is not a perfect dipole, and so the Geomagnetic Poles and the actual Magnetic Poles lie some distance apart.
