Magnetic north??? Magnetic north pole???

I found myself confused with the terms of magnetic north and magnetic north pole...I found many definitions from the web and the following are my understandings, please point it out if I am wrong, thank you!

-The magnetic north is in the southern hemisphere in the present time
-The magnetic north pole, or north magnetic pole, is in the northern hemisphere now
-The magnetic north is the magnetic south pole and vice versa
-The geomagnetic north pole and the north magnetic pole are the same thing
