The magnetic north pole is wandering about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year. It crossed the international date line in 2017, and is leaving the Canadian Arctic on its way to Siberia.

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static.

The needle of a compass has guided humanity for centuries, pointing unerringly toward the magnetic north. But what happens when that point moves — and accelerates? This week, scientists unveiled ...

The geographic North Pole "stays at the same place, as it is where all lines of longitude converge," while the magnetic North Pole is where a compass points, which "changes from time to time as ...

Compass needles in the Northern Hemisphere point toward the magnetic North Pole, although the exact location of it changes from time to time as the contours of Earth’s magnetic field also change.

WASHINGTON — True north isn't quite where it used to be. Earth's north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists that past estimates are no longer accurate ...

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. As of this month, the distance between the magnetic dip pole and the geographic pole is about ...
