Santa's New Home: The North Pole Is Moving To Russiahttps://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/santas-new-home-north-pole-moving-russiaThe North Pole is moving and quickly. Is someone stealing Christmas?
It is not the Grinch or Vladimir Putin that is stealing Santa’s workshop, but instead, as Visual Capitalist's Nicholas LePan notes, it’s the natural processes of the Earth that are moving the North Pole. In fact, since scientists have been tracking the anomaly in the Arctic, the North Magnetic Pole has been shifting towards Russia.
Satellite data tracking the Earth’s magnetic field indicate that the pole is moving faster across the Arctic than previously recorded. While it’s hard to estimate an exact date by which the North Pole will lie in Russia (due to contested geographic claims in the Arctic), it will eventually get there.
What surprises scientists is the rate at which the movement has increased in recent history: (
We aren’t surprised here are we???) According to the geological record, the last time the poles switched was ~780,000 years ago, and it has happened about 400 times in 330 million years. Each reversal takes roughly a thousand years to complete.
The field has weakened about 10% in the last 150 years. Some scientists think this is a sign of a flip in progress.From 2000-2010 the Earth's Field weakened 5%!!
