Scientists Update Magnetic North Pole's Position

Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Just Officially Moved—and Scientists Just Updated Its Position
The magnetic north pole is on the move, and its latest shift has significant implications for global navigation systems. Scientists have released an updated World Magnetic Model (WMM), revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and continues its drift toward Russia.
Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Slows Down: What the 2025 World Magnetic Model Reveals
Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, scientists reveal new details about its unpredictable journey and why it has slowed down after decades of rapid acceleration.
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.
The Magnetic North Pole Has Officially Changed Position
It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, and (given the time of year) Santa's sleigh: the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.
