He does not show a position for a south magnetic pole. This point is distinct from Earth's North Magnetic Pole. Their aim was to reach a 1996 location of the North Magnetic Pole. It also calculated the location of the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic sensor reads the magnetic pole positions. He explored the Boothia Peninsula, searching for the exact location of the North Magnetic Pole. It continues to rotate upwards until it is straight up at the South Magnetic Pole. On 16 January, these observations showed them to be about from the Magnetic Pole. The location of the South Magnetic Pole had been calculated with reasonable accuracy. Its southern hemisphere counterpart is the South Magnetic Pole. In the magnetic pole model, magnetization begins at and ends at magnetic poles. Movements of up to per year have been observed for the North Magnetic Pole. Furthermore, paleomagnetic data had shown that the magnetic pole had also shifted during time. Roald Amundsen found the North Magnetic Pole in a slightly different location in 1903. The magnetic pole model does not account for magnetism that is produced by electric currents.
