Polar magnetic field, as a component produced by the global dynamo, is thought to be the remant of toroidal magnetic field transported poleward from Sun’s active belt. With the improvement of instruments, more and more observations are challenging the viewpoint. Recently, we identify the bipolar magnetic emergences (BMEs) in the polar region, and find that the distribution of the magnetic axes for these BMEs shows random state, which does not follow the Joy’s law of active region. The result implies the possible existence of local dynamo in the solar polar region.
