We now know that every day, magnetic north traces an elliptical path of about 75 miles (120 kilometers). Since its discovery, magnetic north has drifted away from Canada and toward Russia.

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.
