Earth's Magnetic North Pole Rapidly Shifts Toward Russia

The accelerating movement of the magnetic north pole challenges scientists' ability to predict its future path.

The magnetic north pole has moved approximately 2,250 kilometers from Canada toward Siberia since the 1830s.
The pole's movement accelerated from 15 kilometers per year in the 1990s to 55 kilometers annually in the early 2000s, before slowing to 25 kilometers per year in recent years.
This shift is driven by the chaotic flow of molten iron in Earth's outer core, which generates the planet's magnetic field.
The British Geological Survey and other organizations monitor these changes using global geomagnetic observatories and the World Magnetic Model.
Scientists caution that predicting the pole's future movements is difficult, requiring regular updates to navigation systems like GPS.
