The magnetic north pole has wandered away from the Canadian Arctic (solid blue line) and toward Siberia for about the past century, but it has considerably sped up over the past 20 years.

Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles across northern Canada. But right now it's racing 25 miles a year to the northwest.

While USA Today says it did drop back down to 22 miles per year around 2019, it seems like the movement has picked up once again, with the magnetic North Pole ending up in Russia sometime around 2040.

The reason behind the shifting North Pole is molten iron and nickel movement in the planet's outer core. Over the last 20 years, the iron and nickel have been flowing away from the magnetic lobe ...

The Earth's north magnetic pole (which is not the same as geographic north) has led scientists on something of a goose chase over the past century. Each year, it moves north by an average of about ...

However, with reports that the magnetic north pole has started moving swiftly at 31 miles per year—and may soon be over Siberia—it has long been unclear whether the northern lights will move too.

Prior to 1990, the north magnetic pole moved at a sedate speed of approximately 0-15km/yr (0-9m/yr); but in the 1990s its speed dramatically increased to its present value of 50-60km/yr (31-37m/yr.) ...

Last year, scientists announced Earth's magnetic north pole was moving toward Siberia at an unusually fast rate and they could not explain why. It had moved so far, so quickly, there had to be an ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is rapidly moving towards Russia, accelerating from 15 km/h to 50-60 km/h in recent decades. This shift impacts navigation systems, GPS, and radiation protection as ...

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.

The geographic north pole doesn’t move, and if we’re putting things in the simplest of terms, it’s the “top” of the globe. The magnetic poles, however, are constantly drifting.
