Is the geographic north pole of planet earth a magnetic north or a magnetic south pole?

The magnetic pole is considered north but, as was mentioned above, the two are not in the same place. This gave Columbus fits when his comp quit pointing at the north star when he was about half way across the atlantic. Actually, the magnetic north pole is located somewhere around the northern part of Hudson's Bay. Navigating there is done only by the stars and now GPS because a comp there slowly spins in a circle, useless.
