Since then, the magnetic north pole has trekked over 2,200 kilometers (about 1,400 miles), with its pace quickening dramatically in the last few decades.

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion.

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.

Every five years, the location of the Magnetic North Pole is updated. In the latest model, it continues its shift toward Siberia, but it is slowing down.

British scientists said the magnetic North Pole was moving rapidly toward Russia. Here's what that means.

Earth’s magnetic North Pole is moving toward Russia. NASA In Earth’s northern hemisphere, compass needles point toward the magnetic North Pole, and the location changes depending on the ...

Scientists tracking Earth's magnetic pole have recently spotted it heading toward Siberia. Where it will end up, no one knows.

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.

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 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.
