Magnetic North Pole Continues Drifting at Unprecedented Speed and Crosses Prime Meridian!!!

The Earth’s Magnetic North is moving from its previous home in the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia at a rate of about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year over the past two decades. And this movement will continue, though likely at a slower rate of 25 miles (40 km) each year, as shown in the latest data.
