Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Shifting Rapidly Towards Russia, Scientists Warn
British scientists have confirmed that Earth’s magnetic north pole is moving towards Siberia at an unprecedented rate. This shift, driven by molten iron flow in Earth's outer core, has brought the pole significantly closer to Russia in just five years. Experts warn that this could impact navigation systems, requiring constant updates for GPS and compasses.
Wildlife is also at risk, as many species, including birds and sea turtles, rely on Earth's magnetic field for migration. The World Magnetic Model, used to monitor pole movements, is being updated to mitigate potential disruptions in aviation, marine navigation, and animal behavior, ensuring accurate geolocation and positioning systems.
