Huh? So the compasses really point towards Ellesmere Island in Canada, not the North Pole?"The North Magnetic Pole moves slowly over time due to magnetic changes in the Earth's core. In 2001, it was determined by the Geological Survey of Canada to lie near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at81.3°N 110.8°W. It was estimated to be at
82.7°N 114.4°W in 2005. In 2009, it was moving toward Russia at between 34 and 37 mi (55-60 km) per year"
I must have been asleep when they talked about this in school.....Could anyone explain it in simple terms?
