Learn about how and why the geomagnetic poles move, and access pole location data from 1590–2025.

Feb 24, 2025 · The map above shows how much the North Magnetic pole has shifted between 1590 and today. From the map's author:

Dec 20, 2024 · Research suggests that two giant magnetic lobes – one under Canada and one under Siberia – are what's driving the shifting of magnetic north. Sometimes the shifts are dramatic enough …

Feb 20, 2024 · The Earth’s magnetic field is experiencing some rapid changes right now, but scientists say that has no relation to pole flipping.

Aug 23, 2025 · Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted away from Canada and closer to Siberia at a rapid pace in recent years. Here’s why.

Jan 24, 2025 · Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation systems

Jan 21, 2025 · Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift...

Mar 5, 2025 · A feature layer displaying the historical north and south magnetic pole track for the years 1590-2025, derived from the gUFM and IGRF models.

Once we have the data we will overlay the position of the north pole on a map for easy recognition so that anyone can follow the current pole migration, it is that simple.

Dec 25, 2024 · A stereographic map showcasing the Arctic region's magnetic declination (D) for the World Magnetic Model 2025. The map highlights declination contours, the position of the north …
