Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted more than 1,400 miles, creating a major scientific and navigation update across the world. The movement has happened slowly over decades, but its effects reach modern technology, transportation, and global positioning systems.
The magnetic north pole is not a fixed point. It moves because Earth’s magnetic field is constantly changing deep beneath the surface. The shift from Canada’s Arctic region toward Siberia has attracted attention because the recent movement pattern is different from previous observations.
