Expert Answer
Dear student,
The north pole of a magnetic needle will always lie along the direction of the magnetic field and will always point the north direction.'Magnetic North' is a direction, and NOT a magnetic polarity. The magnetic polarity of Magnetic North is actually a south pole and, since 'unlike poles attract', it attracts the north (-seeking) end of the compass needle.
It is not specific about specific places, dear.

Anywhere and everywhere the point would point correctly.
