Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible ...

While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the WMM pinpoints ...

As a result, its northernmost point is always on the move. British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic ...

The accuracy of coordinates is crucial for the navigation of aircraft, ships and GPS devices - How is the magnetic field of the magnetic pole affected?

British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an accelerated speed ...

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 is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

And as the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. If you're using a compass or a GPS system, ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it ...
