British scientists have revealed that Earth’s magnetic North Pole is rapidly slipping towards Russia. Five years ago it was now close to Siberia from where it was. One of CNN Report According to, experts have been tracking Earth’s magnetic North Pole for many centuries. It is tracked using the World Magnetic model. The British Geological Survey and NOAA together have created the World Magnetic model. This magnetic explains the position of the North Pole. In December, it was revealed that the magnetic North Pole has now approached Siberia and is constantly shifting towards Russia.

It is worth noting here that the magnetic North Pole is different from the geographical North Pole of our earth. Geographical North Pole lives in one place. At the same time, the position of the magnetic North Pole is determined by the magnetic field of our earth, which is a frequent move.

Scientists have seen that the movement of magnetic field in recent years is unpredictable. Sometimes it increases, sometimes it slows down. Scientists are unable to tell about this behavior.

Looking into history, the Magnetic North Poll was detected in 1831 by the British Explorer Sir James Clarke Ross. He was then in Northern Canada. Since then it has been shifting towards Russia. Its position has changed 400 km since 1931.

It is usually moving at a speed of 10 km annually. It had gained momentum in 1990 and then it started shifting from 55 km annually at 15 km annular speed. In 2015, this speed came at 35 km annually. This shift towards Russia is now happening at low speed.
