Since the Earth's magnetic field is not exactly symmetrical, the North and South Magnetic Poles are not antipodal, meaning that a straight line drawn from one to the other does not pass through the geometric centre of the Earth.
Idet Jordens magnetfelt ikke er helt symetrisk, er de magnetiske nord- og sydpoler sig ikke antipodale, d.v.s. at en lige linje mellem de to poler ikke passerer gennem Jordens geometriske centrum.
