As Magnetic North Pole Zooms Toward Siberia, Scientists Update World Magnetic Model
The north magnetic pole is constantly moving. In the 19th century, it was in northern Canada. Since then, it's been crossing the Arctic Ocean toward Siberia. Recently the speed of its drift increased to 55 km a year. In a few decades it will be in Russian territorial water. Will Putin claim the pole for Mother Russia and demand royalties from everyone who uses a compass?
