Earth's Magnetic North Pole Shifts Toward Russia

The accelerated movement of the magnetic North Pole could impact navigation and technology.

The magnetic North Pole has moved approximately 2,250 kilometers from Canada toward Siberia since the 1990s.
Scientists have observed a slowdown in its movement to 22 miles per year, compared to faster rates in the early 2000s.
The shift is attributed to changes in the Earth's outer core, made mostly of molten iron, leading to alterations in the magnetic field.
This movement could affect navigation systems, causing compasses to point eastward of true north by 2040.
The magnetic South Pole is also drifting, suggesting potential future pole reversals, though the last occurred 780,000 years ago.
