Magnetic North Pole

Basically, the Magnetic North Pole is where a compass points. This is not the northernmost point on the globe. It is a point in the Arctic that is always on the move, reacting to magnetic changes in the Earth’s core, or two gigantic magnetic blobs of liquid iron hidden underneath the Earth’s surface.

Every few years scientists venture into inhospitable territories to locate the pole. In 2009, it was located within the Canadian Arctic territorial claim at 84.9°N 131.0°W, and it was moving toward Russia at between 34 and 37 miles (55 and 60 km) per year. Relative to the last few hundred years, the speed of movement is increasing.

Here’s the latest position, courtesy of Popular Mechanics:

As this chart demonstrates, the rate of movement has been dramatically increasing recently:

3 thoughts on “Magnetic North Pole

  1. I cross-referenced periods of global warming with this information and there seems to be a link between the magnetic north being in Russian seas and warm periods on the Earth. My guess is that it has to do with increased solar radiation allowed into the system either due to weakening of the field around Earth, or perhaps it has to do with the sort of surface receiving an increased amount of solar radiation which somehow increases global temperatures. I believe the inner core of the Earth moves relative to the surface, causes magnetic north to “move”, increases volcanic activity, and ultimately changes how much solar radiation gets through to the surface. All of this changes the climate. I expect there to be prolonged periods of relatively different climates in various regions, but most likely similar to 1000 BC, the Roman period and the warm Medieval period. So, whatever the climate was like in your region during these time periods is likely to return again for the next couple hundred years. I doubt a reversal is imminent though.

  2. I am looking into this a lot lately and every time I look at these maps, I see an unstable internal (underlying) dynamo which appears to have been knocked off kilter (perhaps more than once) and that tries to stabilize itself afterward.

  3. The world has been given a theory that everyone accepts as truth on the composition of the interior of our planet. Everyone accepts that it must be a solid nickle-iron core.
    What if the Earth is a hollow space like that of most sporting balls? Yes, there is a crust that is about 300 miles thick on average where all of the lava/magma is created/stored. What if there is an internal “Sun” or Plasma Energy “Being” hanging in the center. What if there is land with green things and oceans down there?
    I know, you think I am writing about Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Go to YouTube and search on “Hollow Earth;” read about the 90 mile wide Northern Entrance. What about the Southern Entrance? What the hell are they doing down in Antarctica ? They have found a huge under Ice city that is full of Alien artifacts; it actually descends into the Hollow Earth.
    Let’s get back on point. The Earth has an interior world; it is hollow. There is an Internal “Sun” hanging in the center; there is no night down there. There are oceans that are all made of fresh water. There are rocks and trees and animals down there including many remaining, live, reproducing Dinosaurs and Humans. The Internal “Sun” is the home of Gaia or our planetary awareness.
    I am writing this to provide more critical information on how and why Magnetic Pole Shifts happen. The how is easy; the Internal Sun does a physical Pole Shift and the magnetic pole, up here on the surface, does a Magnetic Pole Shift. We have been observing that our Sun, Solar, does magnetic reversals fairly frequently; our Internal Sun can do these Magnetic Reversals as well. Think about it, with an solid nickle-iron core, we cannot wrap our minds around a reasonable explanation for a magnetic pole shift; it cannot happen.
    The Internal Sun can do 180s, 30s, 60s, 90s or any other angle or degree variation shifts as frequently as it must. Yes, these all impact the surface world, our world.
    We are all on the same page here; at least we are not saying that Magnetic Pole Shifts are somehow caused by Carbon Dioxide and Man-made Global Warming; we are all talking about the Electro-Magnetic-Dynamics between our Sun, Solar, and our planet. Yes, the Magnetosphere is getting weaker and the Cosmic Rays are getting much stronger. Yes, this will be the driver for a huge increase in Volcanic and Earthquake activity for both the surface and the interior. We all know about the Northern Lights; that is the interaction point between Earth and the energies coming from the Sun; solar winds, sun spots, solar storms and cosmic rays. It does not happen like this in the Southern Hemisphere as the opening to the interior world is closed off with miles of thick ice.
    Now, the why. As I referenced above, our planet has an awareness; she is alive. She calls herSelf, Gaia. We, and everything around us are her Children. There are cycles for everything; the planets move around and form different configurations and our Solar System moves around a star called, Alcione or Alycon; this is what gives us the different Houses of the Zodiac. Each Age or House is 2,160 years long.
    There are cycles for Climate Change, called Solar Maximums and Minimums and there are cycles for Magnetic Reversals.
    We have just left the House of Pisces; think schooling fish. This is where the word “school” comes from. For the past five Ages, 10,800 years, the predominant energy of our world, both exterior and interior, has been male dominated and supported a requirement to follow-the-leader and have secret handshakes or some form of credential. It has also been a long time where fear, force and control was the dominant energy.
    Now, we are in the Age of Aquarius which is Female Dominated, supports going-your-own-way (not follow-the-leader) and is dominated by freedom, truth, choice, integrity, self-reliance, self-responsibility and doing-the-Right-Thing.
    This is a huge, cyclical, shift in the energy of our world(s) and it has been imposed on both our Solar System and our planet. This kind of cyclical change almost always requires massive changes on our planet. We are seeing those changes begin to play out; weakened Magnetic Field, increased Cosmic Rays, increased Volcanic and Earthquake activities, a cooler or colder and dryer surface, crop failures and mass movements of people. Yes, there will be a Magnetic Pole Shift, perhaps as soon as this year. Yes, expect large increases in Volcanic Activity, especially in the areas of Indonesia to the Philippines, much of China and nearly all of Central America. Yes, the Big One(s) will hit California and we will have a re-occurence of the New Madrid Quakes. Much, if not all, of the Western Caribbean will subside (Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Haiti/Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico) or drop into the sea.

    As the Chinese say, we are living in interesting times.
