Earth’s magnetic poles are not fixed — they are moving, and in recent decades they’ve been drifting faster than expected.
But what does that really mean?
In this video, we break down:
Why the North Magnetic Pole is racing toward Siberia
What scientists can and cannot predict about pole movement
The difference between pole drift, pole wandering, and pole reversal
Why airport runways, navigation charts, and compasses quietly change over time
And the big question few people ask: how do we actually know the poles stay near the polar regions?
We’ll look at:
Modern tracking since the 1800s
Geological and paleomagnetic evidence going back thousands of years
What a “pole shift” really looks like in Earth’s core — and what it doesn’t mean
