The image shown is marked with latitude lines 60-70-80 with 60 nearest the pole. Since the pole is at latitude 90 degrees then the markings should have 80 nearest the pole and 60 furthest from the pole.

Magnetic polarity has nothing to do with the opposite poles attracting each other. Some scientists believe that polar inversion occurs ever 22,000 years; others consider the polarisation to have occured due to solar wind polarity due to obscurences of the solar wind.

In any case, n-s orientation is not defined by their respective position itself, but rather due to the mass of liquid high-pressure metallic content of earth's core and the flow that presents.

The Start of the paragraph needs reexamination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.167.7.95 (talk) 19:57, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the template for a merge into North Magnetic Pole. See this discussion for details. RockMagnetist (talk) 01:08, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the 160 deg vlue for North magnetic pole location seems wrong. can someone check this please ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.227.170 (talk) 20:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

This page is missing information about the work of Charlie Barton with the discovery of the south magnetic pole in 2000. http://recollections.nma.gov.au/issues/vol_6_no_1/exhibition_reviews/quest_for_the_south_magnetic_pole — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:C5B3:EC00:5DEA:D3FF:A241:56F7 (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
