What Evidence Exists For Pole Shifts?

  • Terrestrial magnetic pole shifts are not new and have been recorded on layers of volcanic rock found on ocean floors.

  • As rock cooled, it retained the orientation of the earth's magnetic field at the time, something like a tape recording.

  • The earth's poles have shifted many times in the past, but not in recorded history. Scientists and others have stated that another one can occur most any time, and we may be overdue for it.
    • What isn't known are what all the effects will be for earth when this happens again. Not if, but when.

    Ice core samples retrieve grass/pine needles which proves Greenland glacier formed very fast.

    A team of international researchers working on the North Greenland Ice Core Project recently recovered what appear to be plant remnants nearly two miles below the surface between the bottom of the glacial ice and the bedrock.

    The suspected plant material under about 10,400 feet of ice indicates the Greenland Ice Sheet "formed very fast," said NGRIP project leader Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, a professor at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute.

    "There is a big possibility that this material is several million years old -- from a time when trees covered Greenland," she said. "Several of the pieces look very much like blades of grass or pine needles," said University of Colorado at Boulder geological sciences Professor James White, a NGRIP principal investigator.

    "If confirmed, this will be the first organic material ever recovered from a deep ice-core drilling project," said White, also a fellow of CU-Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine > Research.

    The North Magnetic Pole is slowly drifting across the Canadian Arctic. The Geological Survey of Canada keeps track of this motion by periodically carrying out magnetic surveys to redetermine the Pole's location. The most recent survey, completed in May, 2001, determined an updated position for the Pole and established that it is moving approximately northwest at 40 km per year. The observed position for 2001and estimated positions for 2002 to 2005 are given in the table.

    I read your article on pole shifting on Rense.com and will help in any way I can. I did a quick check with my compass and it does appear magnetic north is a few degrees east of where I am use to seeing it, will have to do more research in the daylight hours. Let me know if I can be of any help. Thanks - Brad


    You have a great idea!!! I'd like to participate by furnishing you compass readings from my home near Portland, OR. I need a little help, understanding the best type of compass to use and how to record the data. With simple instructions I'll get started. - RD


    Dear Ted: I read you note on Rense and am very interested in earth changes we are now experiencing 80 degree temperatures on the Vancouver island when it should be wet and windy. This is huge stuff and many don't realize the cycle of things they are lead to believe this is "Global warming". You are right, my studies have told me this shift was to the west unless I was backwards when I did this. my measures were the "m" pole was somewhere around north and to the east of Inuvik and new reading have it showing up off the coast of Arctic Siberia. Help me out if you see what I have done wrong and please send the set up on your measuring as I am sure it cannot be too much different. My studies tell me the pole has moved hundreds of miles over the past decade and may now be moving back(?). Look forward to hearing from you soon. I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada

    Dear Jeff -

    On the NASA web site, at article goes into detail about the magnetic pole shift and states that it IS shifting at about 40km a year right now!

    Here is the article:

    Dear Jeff,
     
    The topic of the moving magnetic north in your feature blocks piqued my interest.
     
    It reminded me of when we looked into the pole shifting thing back in the Fall of 1996 in a CompuServe forum called the "Mysteries" forum. One of your long time guests, Cheryl Magill and I were staff members in that forum at the time. She probably remembers the discussion. As you know, by her heroic work against electronic attack on our oceans, she's very interested in the effects of energy on all life forms.
     
    What we learned back then was that movement of magnetic north is a natural occurrence to a degree. The Earth is a living organism, after all. The good question raised is: at what degree does it become un-natural?
     
    Back in "the old days" we were also discussing channeled information on pole shifts. Edgar Cayce's pole shift information was discussed and would be of interest to others, I'm sure.
     
    We were actually brought into the subject by some information given by Kryon/Lee Carroll which was current at the time. The reason I am writing to you is because the point of the re-numbering of airport runways to reflect any changes seemed to be something worth checking out as well. I am sure someone would be able to check the current situation in that area out fairly easily. I don't have the available time at the moment to track that down.
     
    I happen to have saved one of the posts from back then because it was very interesting, and got more interesting the more we looked into it. We also learned a bit about basic earth magnetics.
     
    At the time of the writing, the Fall of 1996, magnetic north was in Etah, Greenland. (The latitude and longitude of the city in Greenland, Etah, north of the town of Thule, is 78n19, 72w38.) According to this webpage, http://www.phatnav.com/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Geomagnetic_North_Pole the current magnetic north is "7830' North, 69 West, near Thule, Greenland."
     
    And now for the 1996 CompuServe post.
     
    Kryon and North Changes - The Mysteries Forum
     
    The Mysteries Cheryl asked in Enigma U about compasses and north. It reminded me of this information I recently read which got me to thinking. It appears that magnetic north has changed position. Allbeit not greatly, but enough to have the FAA comply to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency by instructing several airport runways to be renamed. Runways in aviation are compass headings. Many runways in the Northern Hemisphere have had to be renamed due to the moving of North. Casper Wyoming and Billings Montana to name two.
     
    According to an article by Lee Carroll who channels Kryon, in the Sept. issue of Sedona mag, "Compass headings on runways are rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, and are denoted by both compass headings at each end. So runway 7/25 represents 70 degrees from one direction, and 250 degrees from the other (a 180 degree difference on the compass - they drop the last zero in their designation). Therefore a runway that used to run at 70 degrees that has been repainted to 80 (as in 8/26) is a change of up to 10 degrees on the compass! Magnetic north is moving, just like Kryon said it would, and the aviation industry is responding by changing navigational aids!
     
    I did a little research and this is what I found.
     
    When I use a compass... there's an adjustment to be made which represents the difference between true North and Magnetic North. Is there a way in nature that one can determine what that adjustment should be?
     
    To use a magnetic compass accurately, one must know the amount of variation at his or her location and what variation correction must be made in reading the compass. I couldn't find anything mentioning how to do this 'in nature', but this information appears on all mariner's charts and many maps. Pilots might know how to do that.
     
    What is Magnetic North... and what is really being defined when we line a compass up with it? The earth acts like a huge bar magnet whose poles lie close to the north and south geographic poles. The straight line between the poles of this imaginary magnet is called the 'geomagnetic axis'. The 'magnetic equator' lies on a plane that is at right angles to the geomagnetic axis.
     
    The angle between the direction of magnetic north and the true North Pole at any location is called ariation or deviation. The variation of a compass is different at different places on the earth. The variation also changes slightly at different times of the year and in different years.
     
    The 'instantaneous north pole' lies at the point where the earth's axis meets the surface. The earth wobbles slowly as it turns causing the instantaneous pole to move. This pole takes about 14 months to move clockwise around an irregular path that is called the 'Chandler Circle'. The diameter of this path ranges from less than 1 foot (30 centimeters) to about 70 feet (21 meters).
     
    The 'north magnetic pole' is the farthest point on the earth in the direction of magnetic north. This pole can move many miles in a few years. Today, the north magnetic pole is located near Ellef Ringnes Island in northern Canada.
     
    The 'geomagnetic north pole' lies near Etah, Greenland, north of the town of Thule. In the upper atmosphere, the earth's magnetic field points down toward this point.
     
    Whoa! Could this be a subtle axis shift in progress? Or is it just the natural cycles of the movements in the north magnetic pole? Makes me wonder. Makes me wonder.
