Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Is Moving

The Magnetic North Pole Just Shifted—Here’s What It Means
Earth's magnetic north pole is on the move, prompting updates to the World Magnetic Model (WMM). This crucial tool for navigation ensures that satellites, aircraft, and even smartphone users can orient themselves accurately.
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 Shifting Toward Siberia and Raising Questions About Unusual Movement
Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation systems
Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Is Moving: Why It’s Happening And What It Means
"The current behavior of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before." For decades, scientists have been tracking the shift in Earth's magnetic north pole away from Canada and toward Siberia — but recent measurements are unlike anything ever seen before.
Earth's Magnetic North Pole Is On The Move, This Is How Far It Has Shifted
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.
Earth’s Magnetic Pole Has Officially Moved—Again
In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements. This new model updates the location of magnetic north while also providing improved navigation for technologies reliant on Earth’s magnetic field.
Earth’s magnetic North Pole is shifting and scientists uncover its new position; study reveals
The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's molten core. Scientists use t
Scientists Reveal How Earth's Shifting Magnetic Field Affects Auroras and Orbital Systems
Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds and cosmic radiation. However, over the past century, scientists have observed that this invisible force field is shifting.
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.
