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 Pole Is Moving At Accelerated Pace; Here's Where It Is Now
Scientists in Britain have been keeping an eye on where the Earth's magnetic north pole is. It's not fixed like the geographical North Pole; instead, it's like a wandering star. Recently, they found out that this magnetic north pole is now closer to Siberia in Russia than it was just five years ago.
Earth’s north magnetic pole is on the move again
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.
Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Just Officially Moved—and Scientists Just Updated Its Position
The magnetic north pole is on the move, and its latest shift has significant implications for global navigation systems. 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.
