British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

Discovered in the 1830s, the magnetic North Pole is near Ellesmere Island, Canada, about 500 miles from the geographic North Pole. Weather at the North Pole.

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently moving toward Russia in a way that British scientists have not seen before. Scientists have been tracking the magnetic North Pole for centuries, telling ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

The Earth’s iron core and magnetic field create the magnetic North Pole. Discovered in the 1830s, the magnetic North Pole is near Ellesmere Island, Canada, about 500 miles from the geographic ...

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 ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently moving toward Russia in a way that British scientists have not seen before. Scientists have been tracking the magnetic North Pole for centuries ...

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 magnetic North Pole is on a journey toward Russia in a way that has not been seen before. The British Geological Survey (BGS) works with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

For centuries, the magnetic north pole steadily tracked along Canada's northern shore. But in recent decades, it has taken a new path, accelerating across the Arctic Ocean toward Russia's Siberia ...

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.
