Quoting Catherine James <catherine.james@att.net>:
Actually, the diagrams I've seen of the earth's magnetic field show
the north geographic pole as being near the *South* magnetic pole.
So your compass needle has a north pointing north magnetic pole
because the earth's magnetic field is defined as "upside down".
