The polar magnetic fields on the Sun have been an attractive subject for solar researches since Babcocks measured them in solar cycle 19 (Babcock and Babcock, 1955). One of the remarkable features of the polar magnetic fields is their reversal during the maxima of 11-year sunspot cycles (Babcock and Livingston, 1958; Babcock, 1959). I have present results of the investigations of the polar magnetic field using MDI data. It is found, that the polar magnetic field reversal is detected with SOHO/MDI data for polar region within 78deg - 88deg. The North Pole has changed polarity in CR1975 (April 2001). The South reversed later in CR1980 (September 2001). The total unsigned magnetic flux does not show the dramatic decreasing during the polar reversals due to omnipresent bi-polar small-scale magnetic elements (Severnyi 1965, Lin et al. 1994, Benevolenskaya 2004). The observational and theoretical aspects of the polar magnetic field reversals are discussed. References Babcock, H. W., and Babcock, H. D. 1955, ApJ, 121, 349 Babcock, H. W., Livingston W.
