The Earth’s magnetic field is slowly but surely undergoing a significant change, as scientists predict an upcoming magnetic pole flip, where the North and South magnetic poles will reverse ...

During the Laschamps excursion, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, while the magnetic poles shifted dramatically away from the geographic poles.

With the right preparations and technological solutions in place, aviation would continue to operate safely, even during a magnetic pole reversal.

Which way is the magnetic North Pole headed? At the turn of the century the magnetic North Pole was located near the Northeast Passage in Canada, one of the most important routes of world navigation.
