During John Ross’s 1831 Arctic expedition, James Clark Ross (his nephew) led the team that pinpointed the Magnetic North Pole on the west coast of the Boothia Peninsula. Over time, it became ...

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.

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,609 kilometres south of the north pole. But since then, the magnetic north has ...

Earth's north magnetic pole — which guides many of the world’s navigation systems, including Google Maps — has drifted so fast that authorities have had to officially redefine its location.

Since 1831, when it was first measured in the Canadian Arctic, the magnetic north pole has moved about 1,400 miles toward Siberia. Its speed has jumped from about 9 miles per year to 34 miles per ...

Earth's magnetic north pole has been moving toward Russia at least since the pole was discovered in 1831, according to NOAA. And rock sampling shows that Earth's magnetic field has been shifting ...

However, the magnetic north pole is moving faster than normal resulting in a new out of cycle release for the WMM. Normally, new WMM maps are released every five years, and the next release was ...

The magnetic north pole has wandered away from the Canadian Arctic (solid blue line) and toward Siberia for about the past century, but it has considerably sped up over the past 20 years.

The rate of the North Pole's motion, however, has been fast enough that the agencies who produce the model aren't comfortable with waiting for the current model expiration at the end of 2019.

The movement of the magnetic north pole “is pretty fast,” Chulliat said. Since 1831, when it was first measured in the Canadian Arctic, it has moved about 1,400 miles toward Siberia.
