Magnetic Declination from 1590-2020

Magnetic declination, sometimes called magnetic variation, is the angle between magnetic north and true north. As the earth's magnetic field varies over time, the positions of the north and south magnetic poles gradually change. This map displays historical isogonic lines (where declination has the same value) and magnetic poles (green dot) calculated for the years 1590-2020. Red lines are positive (east of north), blue lines are negative (west of north) and the green line is agonic, or zero declination. Watch how the magnetic pole wanders over time.

Years 1900-2020: calculated from the IGRF
Years 1890-1900: a smooth transition was imposed between models

4 people did not like how the magnetic pole wanders over time.

Since this post, scientists have determined the poles are shifting at 5% per decade and not per century as thought before from the 1950s. From the looks of this, the poles look to be speeding up.

Just reminds you how under the oceans and continents, the earth is a moving about physically, and electrically by effect, quite a bit more inside than out.

Thank you for this! It’s Exactly what I wanted. Although it would be nice to see it for the entire world.

So the two negative sides (in the blue) have joined for the first time in 500 years. Should we be concerned ?

[sirjamesfancy]

I don't understand it but it looks amazing & I can at least partially appreciate it.

[arvozo]

And where is south pole shown leaving Antarctica and heading to bay of Bengal?

The end of the video is “woa woa woa hey hey HEY HE-“

[akhilsharma]

What are these lines signifying, are these isogonic or what?

[chrisfj]

Where can I access the KMZ files for the year 2018 declination?

[JohnnyVoidMusic]

Makes me think Americas global warming rush’s global cooling.

[iamweare]

The solar cycles shift magnetics through the positive ions

[elroy]

Is this going from 1590 to the start of 2020?

[bigoodis]

I’m in Siberia, the thing goes towards us 😮

[harmattan]

why does it move? is it predictable? so many questions hah

[Sandra-dtec]

This is so unfair, cause of this I have to always refigure that "D" thingy, like left is great, right is more so, and do arithmetic, declination is stupid. Why doesn't someone make something that you can hold in your hand and it will tell you where you are and how to get to where you want to go to? Is that asking too much?

I believe that the acceleration of the North Pole is 100% because of the existence of Canada.
1879 - Canada declares independence, North Pole starts marching outwards
1994 - North Pole exits Canada due to Kim Campbell
Recent acceleration can be explained via Justin Trudeau.
