what's at the north and south pole, is the magnetic pole. this is a vertically aligned field that is the main place that solar wind energy (mostly plasma, but also UV, cosmic, x, gamma rays, it creates a vertical current in the atmosphere, and this is where most of the energy that gets to us from the sun goes into the earth, and charges up the earth's magnetic dynamo, created by the supercritical mostly iron containing core of the planet, which is an electric current that induces the magnetic shield of the earth

the magnetic pole is currently moving fast away from northern canada and towards siberia, at a rate that continues to defy the magnetic field predictions being put together every 5 years by NOAA, i think it is. they revised the model early, about 2 years ago, and have now updated again, and are referring to it as "forecast degradation".

we are in the early stages of a geomagnetic reversal or shift.

the first visible sign is the increasing size of the regions that are seeing auroras. this is electricity, by the way, same principle as goes on inside a fluorescent light (which is created mostly by mercury emitting UV to light phosphors) and the cold plasma of neon lights, which are, the pink, neon is pink, there are other colors too, i think argon is a blue or green, sodium lamps, these are from electricity flowing through sodium vapor. the auroras are caused by mostly oxygen and nitrogen being ionized by those magnetic fields.
