Magnetic North Pole Rapidly Moving Towards Russia
The coldest ever December has rolled through Russia causing the evacuation of hundreds of people in Siberia, where temperatures hit below -50C, and plunging Moscow into its coldest night in the season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HPfUOID85Q

Alarming NOAA data, Rapid Pole Shift
The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center maintains a data set of annual magnetic north pole coordinates going back to the year 1590, derived from early measurements from ships logs to modern day techniques.
Noting that there has been lots of reporting of pole shift lately, to the point where the phenomenon is actually causing real-world issues such as temporary airport closures, a deeper investigation was in order.
After transferring 420 years of north pole position data from the NOAA Geo Data Center, configuring it to fit in an Excel spreadsheet, adding a complicated formula to determine exact distance between 2 sets of latitude-longitude coordinates, applying the formula to each data point in the series, and then finally plotting it all in a visual graph, it is alarming to discover the Read more…
Compass Deviations/Rumble Noises
I’m the guy that is doing the Google Map. I’ve got both the compass and rumble noises on the map. Yes, it’s a lot of work. But it’s necessary for my own peace of mind and I suspect others too.
Obviously, there is something going on. We need to map it all first to get a handle on what this is and whether they are related. I’ve seen the compass deviation as well as heard the rumble first hand so I am convinced that neither are “fake”. Each thread is perfectly normal; they descend into name calling pretty quick so I hope we can avoid that. Just the observations.
Please go to the map and if you can manage it use the key below to put your general location on the map. If you can’t manage the map, please u2u me. Or just give us the phenomenon and a general location in this thread. Links to compass instructions are below.
Red balloon= compass off. Blue line connects them. Put degrees off, date, time in the description
Green balloon= compass okay. Green line connects them.
Yellow pushpin= rumble noises. Put the date/time, direction of sound (if you can).
Both of these are odd enough that I feel that we should have an ongoing map of the locations that has both of them on it. We have a world wide reach so we can do this. Compass readings, follow the directions here. Just enter your zip code and Volia’! It even has a handy compass on a map to show you where magnetic north is.
Pilots, boaters adjust to shift in magnetic north
Magnetic north, the point at the top of the Earth that determines compass headings, is shifting its position at a rate of about 40 miles per year. In geologic terms, it’s racing from the Arctic Ocean near Canada toward Russia.
As a result, everyone who uses a compass, even as a backup to modern GPS navigation systems, needs to be aware of the shift, make adjustments or obtain updated charts to ensure they get where they intend to go, authorities say. That includes pilots, boaters and even hikers.
“You could end up a few miles off or a couple hundred miles off, depending how far you’re going,” said Matthew Brock, a technician with Lauderdale Speedometer and Compass, a Fort Lauderdale company that repairs compasses.
Although the magnetic shift has little impact on the average person and presents no danger to the Earth overall, it is costing the Read more…
North pole shift could cause airport trouble
Airports like Tampa and West Palm Beach
have recently closed runways because of the shift that is taking place, and it is not the runway that is moving.
Peter Burns, Ph.d., a professor at Notre Dame, says, “The issue of course is the magnetic field does not align with the rotational poles of the earth, and depending on where you sit on the earth, the wandering of the magnetic poles is more or less significant.”
Burns also says that magnetic north is currently located in northern Canada, and it is wandering towards Russia.
This could cause some problems for pilots, as compass readings will also “wander”.
Dee Davis of the Mishawaka Pilots Club, says, “More and more navigation is GPS-based and that is a wonderful thing. But the magnetic north compass still works very well, it is inexpensive, and doesn’t require batteries.”
Compasses aid in navigation and they play an important role in runway numbering.
The main runway at South Bend Regional Airport is labeled 27, a look at the charts shows that the runway’s full heading is at 273 degrees.
If magnetic north continues to wander, some runway numbers will no longer match up with their true heading, a problem that could be very dangerous for pilots taking off.
“One of the most important things that a pilot does before take off, is he will Read more…
