In Earth’s northern hemisphere, compass needles point toward the magnetic North Pole, and the location changes depending on the shifting contours of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Since the 1830s, the north magnetic pole of Earth has relocated some 2,250 kilometers (1,400 miles) across the upper stretches of the Northern Hemisphere from Canada towards Siberia.

The geographic North Pole (or “true north”) is where Earth’s axis meets its surface and is a fixed point on the globe. The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 ...
