Show Plane Finds Exact Position Of North Magnetic Pole The first plane to search for the exact position of the North Magnetic Mag-netic Pole was the British Aries, which made two flights over and around the charted location on Boothia peninsula, Canada, between be-tween May 19 and 26, 1945, says Collier's. The special instruments employed indicate that this pole is some 250 miles north-northwest of the positicn shown on charts and maps for many years. It is still, however, nearly 1,200 miles south of the North Pole itself. |
