Compass needles in the Northern Hemisphere point toward the magnetic North Pole, although the exact location of it changes from time to time as the contours of Earth’s magnetic field also change. The ...

Earth’s north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists say that past estimates are no longer accurate enough for precise navigation. On Monday, they ...

The north magnetic pole, which has been used for navigation for centuries, is shifting east - and it's shifting fast. Experts who map these magnetic fields are rushing to keep up as it heads away ...

The magnetic north pole is wandering about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year. It crossed the international date line in 2017, and is leaving the Canadian Arctic on its way to Siberia.

The magnetic north pole is wandering about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year. It crossed the international date line in 2017, and is leaving the Canadian Arctic on its way to Siberia.

The reason behind the shifting North Pole is molten iron and nickel movement in the planet's outer core. Over the last 20 years, the iron and nickel have been flowing away from the magnetic lobe ...

Magnetic north has been moving slowly around Canada since the 1500s,” William Brown, global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said.
