The North Pole Star, also called Polaris, is just another star that happens to be very close to where the North Celestial Pole, the point in the sky directly above the North Pole, is. Nothing special about it but it is useful for navigation at night as it tells you where the north is. To find it, look for the constellation Big Dipper and draw a line between the two outermost stars of the constellation.
However, you can’t see it south of the Equator. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, there is no bright star that can be used as the South Pole Star. There is a faint star called Sigma Octantis that is nearest to the South Celestial Pole but it is hard to find even on a clear night. To find it, you look for the constellation Southern Cross (Crux) and draw a line down between the top and bottom stars of the cross.
