Earth's North Magnetic Pole

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Earth's North Magnetic Pole is not fixed, but wanders daily and shifts northward by dozens of meters each year. It is located in northern Canada and is the point a magnetic compass generally points towards. Over Earth's 4.5 billion-year history, the magnetic poles have moved across the planet's surface. This constant movement is a result of the dynamic processes within Earth's core.
