Geomagnetic Science at Fort Conger



Two different scales run down the left and right hand sides of a map of the Canadian Arctic. The first scale measures the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field. The second scale measures the declination of that field. Above is a scale showing the latitude and longitude of the position falling within a set of cross hairs visible in the center of the map. Current year, number of poles discovered, and distance are indicated along the bottom of the map.
