Hello All,

At any other point other than the North or South pole, there are four
basic points of the compass N,E,S,W. There are still four points of
the compass at the North Pole, so how are the points of the compass
described at the North Pole?

Within a few degrees of the pole the lines of longitude are used IIRC.
