The North Pole is on the north side of the planet That’s right. You heard us. North isn’t really north. To explain this one, we’re turning to physics expert Christopher S. Baird.

Although modern-day researchers agree with Herodotus that the largest of Egypt’s pyramids—the Great Pyramid of Giza—would have taken at least two decades to construct, they disagree with ...

The Great Pyramid of Giza has always been a source of mystery and interest calling in historians, explorers, people who are interested in this intriguing wonder of the world, from across the globe.

But since then, the magnetic north has drifted away from Canada and toward Russia, experts said. According to them, the magnetic pole moved 400 kilometres northwest from its 1831 position.

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

The magnetic north pole is different from the geographic North Pole. The geographic North Pole (or “true north”) is where Earth’s axis meets its surface and is a fixed point on the globe.

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

The new version is of timely importance too as the magnetic north pole’s movement seems to be accelerating. Since the 1830s, the north magnetic pole of Earth has relocated some 2,250 kilometers ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.
