I know what you mean, Ryo. The north celestial pole, marked by the star Polaris (which is actually a half-degree away from 90 degrees North) is not visible from anyplace in the Southern Hemisphere of the earth. In theory you can see it from the equator, but you'd probably need to get a couple of degrees north from the equator to glimpse it clearly.
Vice versa for the south celestial pole.
By the way, the location of the poles will move with respect to the stars in the sky. In about 13,000 years, the north star will be Vega and the "south" star fiery Canopus. The same rules that currently hold for Polaris and its opposite number will then apply to Vega and Canopus.

elastically pole? What are you talking about? The north pole isn't visible from anywhere on earth about 20 miles away from the pole itself.
You are scaring me?

The north "elastically" pole does not exist, therefor it is not visible from anywhere, on Earth or off. I'm not even sure what you were *trying* to ask.

1st question: The Southern Hemisphere.
2nd qestion: The Northern Hemisphere.
If you are using spell check, you may want to check to see if it knows what you mean.
