Catch the North Magnetic Pole, if you can

According to this report, the North Magnetic Pole is moving a somewhat astonishing 55 km a year!

That makes using a compass in the traditional Boy Scout fashion somewhat challenging.

Why is the North Magnetic Pole racing toward Siberia?

According to some recent models, plumes of less dense fluid form at the inner core boundary and subsequently rise within [a cylinder] whose central axis is the Earth’s rotation axis. Such plumes undergo a strong helical motion due to the Earth’s rapid rotation, a phenomenon also observed in laboratory experiments with water. In the core, helical plumes advect and twist the magnetic field lines, forming what scientists call "polar magnetic upwellings."
