The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

(Credit: Yanik Chauvin/Shutterstock) The north magnetic pole, located closer to Canada a century ago, is now on its way toward Siberia. Right on time for the surge of holiday travel, a new iteration ...
