Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic polo
are two entirely different things. IS a
matter Of fact. there are few localities
on the earths surface where the COM
pass points due north. The reason Is
because the north magnetic pole or
area lies In the vicinity Of King VIII
liam's Land, Just OFF the arctic coast
Of North America in Bothnia. When
this magnetic pole is between us and
the north pole the compass points due
north. As we go either cast or west
from this line 1t is easy to see that
the compass il Off to certain degree.
If we were to travel north of the mag
netic pole the needle would point
south; west Of 1t the needle would
point east. Sir James Ross ia 1881
