"Further studies conducted since 1948 have shown the pole is still moving, and at a fairly fast clip. A study presented at the American Geophysical Union in 2009 concluded the pole is actually drifting northwest toward Russia at nearly 40 miles per year. It’s estimated to have moved nearly 700 miles in the 20th century alone. Today, the pole is in the Arctic Sea, hundreds of miles from where Klein plotted it."

As a onetime geology major and ongoing earth history buff, very interesting! Thanks for posting.

Thank you Sandrat for letting us know that US Air Force navigators still keep us ‘on course.’

However how long will it be before someone says that human existence causes magnetic north to drift?

My girlfriend`s magnetic field causes my North Pole to shift.

The field is thought to be generated by liquid metal in the Earth’s outer core, surrounding the solid inner center.

How do they get this? In my experience liquid metal solidifies from the outside. What is cooling the center
to the point of solidification?

So the mantle and tectonic plates are basically slag
on the surface of the molton metal?

The Russians again!!
