The Earth’s magnetic North Pole is shifting. While this has been a gradual process for centuries, recent observations have revealed a change in the pace of its movement. But why is this happening, and ...

Scientists update the World Magnetic Model as the magnetic north pole moves closer to Siberia.

British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed and is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago.

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.
