During the Laschamps excursion, the North Pole meandered over Europe. Using a 3D reconstruction of Earth’s geospace system, researchers found that the Earth’s magnetic field weakened to about ...
The magnetic north pole is shifting, scientists confirm. Its movement towards Russia has accelerated in recent decades. Researchers say it is now closer to Siberia than five years ago. Tracking ...
The magnetic north pole’s movement, which has suddenly accelerated toward Siberia this century, raises questions about what’s driving the unusual shift and why its motion matters.
While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the WMM pinpoints the magnetic North Pole – where Earth's magnetic field points straight ...
The location of the magnetic north pole was first discovered in 1831 by Arctic explorer James Clark Ross. On an expedition, he mapped and explored Boothia Peninsula in Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic.
Since at least the early 19th century, Earth’s north magnetic pole has been situated in the Canadian Arctic and slowly moving north and east. But now, after a recent acceleration, it is closer ...
The new WMM2025 was released last week, and it will last until 2029. Amidst the constant changes in Earth’s magnetic field, the most notable one is the drifting of the magnetic north pole. The ...
