magentic anomaly in canada

has anything more been heard about the magnetic anomaly in canada? (its was orginaly mentioned "the news" issues 7 & 8 and then reprinted in the fortean times reprint 1-15 book) sorry but i havent got any other reprint books as yet. so i cant check
 
Don't know anything about this (never seen any early copies of FT/The News) - do you have any more details?

It could be connected with the forthcoming magnetic pole reversal - which is also believed to be responsible for the current magnetic anomaly off the S American coast.
 
not really. cos i got to locate my issue of the aformentioned book. so as soon as i do so. i add some more info

Is this a definite then? I realise that it has happened many times in the past and that it's overdue, but is it now generally accepted that the reversal is imminent?

I don't think it's actually definite - but the magnetic dipole is continuing to weaken and it is over 700,000 years since the last reversal.

However, it won't happen in our lifetimes - I think current projections are 1,000 to 2,000 years. Imminient, in geological terms :) And it's just as possible the dipole may strengthen again without going through an actual reversal.
 
Oooh, don't you just hate it when you spend hours (well, okay, a few minutes) looking something up only to find that someone else has posted before you? :mad: :D

I saw a TV programme last week on the geological history of the Earth which claimed that magnetic north is moving north-eastwards from Canada across the pole towards Siberia.

Is this part of the same process?
