Dec 20, 2024 · It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, and (given the time of year) Santa's sleigh: the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.

Jan 21, 2025 · 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...

Jan 23, 2025 · Experts from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological Survey (BGS) have joined forces – as they do every five years – to produce a new, more accurate World Magnetic Model (WMM).

Jan 22, 2025 · Scientists have released an updated World Magnetic Model (WMM), revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and continues its drift toward Russia. This update is...

Jan 27, 2025 · To keep accurate tabs on this ever-changing magnetic north, scientists developed the World Magnetic Model (WMM). Updated every five years, this spherical harmonic model allows...

Mar 28, 2016 · NCEI and CIRES scientists created an animation showing changes in declination location and the “wandering” of the North Magnetic Pole over the last 50 years. Watch how the isogonic lines converge at the Pole.

Dec 17, 2024 · 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.

Nov 28, 2023 · The location of the north magnetic pole has moved by about 600 miles (965 kilometers) since the first measurement was taken in 1831. The migration speed has increased from 10 miles per year to 34 miles per year (16 kilometers to 54 kilometers) in more recent years.

Sep 18, 2023 · The north magnetic dip pole has been moving since 2020 at a rate of about 43 kilometers (27 miles) per year on average. After making its closest visit to the geographic pole on record in 2017, the pole is currently located north of Arctic Canada and is moving toward the northern shore of Siberia.

Nov 23, 2024 · The magnetic North Pole, a vital navigational anchor for our planet, is far from stationary. Most of us remain blissfully unaware that it shifts constantly under the influence of dynamic forces beneath the Earth’s crust.
