Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

"The current behavior of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before." For decades, scientists have been tracking the shift in Earth's magnetic north pole away from Canada and ...

Scientists have discovered that the Earth's magnetic North Pole is rapidly shifting under our feet and moving at a pace unlike anything experts have ever seen. Learn more about the magnetic North ...

Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

“That pulls the magnetic pole towards Siberia,” Beggan said. “The underlying physical reason for that? We’re not quite sure. It might have to do with the way the fluid-flow under the north ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it ...

Sir James Clark Ross discovered magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada. British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an ...

This has caused the North Pole’s location to move quickly towards a magnetic field located under Siberia. The researchers say that our northern magnetic pole is controlled by these two patches ...

“That pulls the magnetic pole towards Siberia,” Beggan said. “The underlying physical reason for that? We’re not quite sure. It might have to do with the way the fluid-flow under the north ...

Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...
