Scientists Just Moved the
#SouthPole. Here’s Why
#Antarctica’s
#NewYear’s celebration is unlike any other: every January 1 scientists physically move the South Pole. This is why: What the scientists did wasn’t related to the magnetic field. They moved the marker stuck in the ice above the geographic South Pole. Technically, this pole doesn’t move. But the marker must: the ice flows about 10 meters a year, so every year, it needs to be put back.
