The Arctic is rapidly moving from Canada to Russia, the Earth is about to reverse?
The center of the so-called Arctic region is now very far away from the area marked on the Earth map, and experts warn it is continuing to drift ever more rapidly.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) and the National Center for Environmental Information have just released the latest update to the World Magnetic Model , showing the magnetic North Pole, which is thought to be the central point. of Arctic land and a milestone for navigation systems of governments, the military, aviation . and personal navigation devices like your phone, have been drifted away from the traditional position. .
Earlier this year, the BGS and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had had to update this magnetic model, but since then, the North Pole has continued to go a long way.
New World Magnetic Model, to the right is the Northern Hemisphere.The dots with those five colors reflect the North Pole, in which the North Pole of 1900 was very far from the North Pole today.
Accordingly, calling the snow covered northern Canada as "the North Pole" as the 20th century is no longer accurate. From the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the central northernmost point has left the Canadian coast.In 2020, the "Arctic" is really . the cold waters between the Arctic Ocean , and maybe in the near future, the Arctic will be the land on the other side - Siberia of Russia.
This magnetic pole estimate has quietly moved hundreds of kilometers away from its original position, with the current speed being frighteningly fast: 50km / year. This also means that the North Pole has long been away from the original meridian passing through the British Greenwich Observatory for a long time, causing a series of serious misleading maps and positioning patterns.

According to scientists, this is the fastest shift recorded in the Northern Hemisphere of the earth since the mid-16th century and this is a major devastation for navigation systems around the globe.
The main reason is attributed to the movement of the liquid flow deep in the planet's core. However, tracking the movement of this flow is difficult, because it lies 3,000km deep. The Earth's Antarctic moves less, probably due to the more stable deep-water currents in that region.

This shows that the Earth is likely to undergo a reversal: the North Pole becomes Antarctica, and vice versa. In today's context, this reversal can cause great damage to electricity grids, telecommunications systems, satellites and spacecraft. Because when reversed, the Earth's magnetic field - a shield for the planet from solar storms - will weaken. Solar storms can be devastating for these systems.
The last reversal of the Earth occurred around 780,000 years ago, when on Earth there were many species of the genus who roamed and built primitive tribes, but our modern Homo sapiens are still far away. just born. Estimates of our planet have reversed hundreds of times throughout history, with the most "crazy" period falling in the Cambrian period, flipping up to 26 times per million years, according to research by the Institute of Earth Physics.
