The Magnetic Has Officially Changed Position
Magnetic north has shifted away from Canada and towards Siberia, a trend that has been ongoing for the last 20 years. While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the World Magnetic Model (WMM) pinpoints the magnetic North Pole – where 's points straight down, a perfectly vertical magnetic field.

ScienceAlert · The Magnetic North Pole Has Officially Changed PositionIt'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.

@BenjaminHCCarr Russia is attracting the north pole by a fusion reaction in the underground in Ural. Plan is to use this strong magnetic field for cyber attack to their capitalist enemy.

But seriously, direction of drift is not so interesting as its speed. 🤔
