Scientists have managed to turn Laschamps event, or the cosmic event when Earth's magnetic poles switched places – the North Pole became the South Pole and vice versa – into a sound. We can finally ...

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

The team found that the North Pole wandered over Europe when the magnetic field's poles started to flip positions, a natural process that has happened around 180 times over Earth's geological history.

Fram2, named for a Norwegian ship that traversed the North and South poles at the turn of the 20th century, is sending the astronauts on a pioneering voyage circling Earth's poles from orbit.

The first humans to orbit both the North and South Poles have released videos showing the desolate wastelands from a never-before-seen vantage point.

SpaceX has sent its first human-crewed mission, Fram2, to pass over both the North and South poles in a three-to-five-day orbit, featuring scientific experiments including the growth of mushrooms ...

The Fram2 will aim to circle Earth at a trajectory that is exactly 90 degrees to the equator, giving the passengers a perfect view of the North and South Poles that have remained elusive from even ...

While in orbit, the crew plans to observe Earth’s polar regions from about 267 miles above the ground – an altitude that will allow the Dragon to fly from the North Pole to the South Pole in ...

The North and South magnetic poles have switched places before - and they’ll do it again. This video investigates what this means for humanity, including the risks of power grid failures and ...

The magnetic north pole, distinct from the geographic North Pole, is the point where Earth’s magnetic field lines converge. NASA via Rawpixel For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been ...

British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed and is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago.

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.
