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

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, ...

Earth’s magnetic field has behaved even more dramatically in the past, with the magnetosphere weakening so much that its polarity reversed. This flips the magnetic north and south poles ...

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.

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, ...
