That migration of the magnetic North Pole was switched into overdrive in the past few years, causing the pole to rapidly move.

The official location of the magnetic poles is specified by the World Magnetic Model, which acts as the basis for navigation, communication, GPS, etc. around the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earth\u2019s magnetic North Pole has drifted so fast that authorities have had to officially redefine the location of the magnetic North Pole.
