Scientists Update Magnetic North Pole's Position

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move, and scientists just updated its position
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 Officially Moving – Scientists Just Updated Its Location
It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.
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 shifts towards Siberia, navigation updates crucial
The Earth's magnetic north pole is shifting its position. Research indicates it is moving from Canada toward Siberia. As reported by ScienceAlert, scientists from NOAA and BGS have updated the position of the magnetic north pole.
Magnetic north's race: Shifting poles challenge navigation
The Earth's magnetic north pole is shifting. Research indicates it is moving from Canada toward Siberia. As reported by Sciencealert, scientists from NOAA and BGS have updated the position of the magnetic north pole.
Earth's magnetic North Pole has moved. Planes, ships, submarines being updated
The location of the magnetic north pole is crucial for the functioning of the global positioning systems (GPS).
Canada Can No Longer Claim the Magnetic North Pole
GPS systems around the world are adjusting to a new model tracking Earth's magnetic north pole, the point that attracts the needle of a compass, which is now closer to Siberia than to Canada, reports the Washington Post.
