Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Slows Down

Earth’s Magnetic Pole Has Officially Moved—Again
In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements. This new model updates the location of magnetic north while also providing improved navigation for technologies reliant on Earth’s magnetic field.
