There is no landmass at the North Pole; it's an ice cap over the ocean.
Near the South Pole, the highest peak is Vinson Massif (also known as Mount Vinson) at 78° 32' S; 85° 38' W

There's no land at the North Pole, just ice. Plus, plus you have to take into account that the Earth is slightly tilted on an axis. Also, there's really no such thing as up or down or high or low with respect to the entire universe. Therefore, there's really not a correct answer to your question.

Which one are you talking about, the Geographic north and south pole, the Magnetic north and south pole, or cities named North Pole and South Pole?
