The Russians say the magnetic north pole runs along the Lomonosov Ridge in a
1500 mile arc around the geographic pole. They call it a Ridge because that
is where the ocean appears to be rather shallow compared to the surrounding
waters -- which would make sence if this is in fact the inside edge of the
rim. Centrifugal force would cause the water to thin on the inside edge of
the opening. But my question remains: Why does the magnetic pole shift at
all?

Norlan,
Nice points.
The magnetic lines of force are a flow, and it is the nature of flows to
change, like the course of a river does now and then. I imagine it is a
minor point, although I would like to know, too.

I don't get this. The ridge you talk about is not circular but strait on my map. And the present magnetic pole is not situated on the ridge at all. Does the Russians have any supporting data for this claim?

Here is something from Sadek Adams' book on polar warming. There is some
info here which we haven't posted.
You'll all remember that yesterday, I sent around the Health Research
e-address and mentioned that Sadek's book was on the page.
I had a bit of a problem with Word 97 because it doesn't like different
fonts on the same page, so scroll on down until you get to the bottom of
page 14.
And at the bottom of the first page, page 11, there is a drawing which
didn't make it, but I cluded it as an attachment. I hope you all get to read
this!

Here it is, starting on page 11:
The evidence for Arctic warmth is astounding. It has nothing to do with the
Gulf Stream or six months of non-stop sunshine. It is generally accepted by
researchers, but probably not very well known, that north of the Arctic
Circle it can be and is WARMER, not colder, than south of the Arctic Circle.
Encyclopedias generally agree on this point, although there are a few
contra-indications as seen in the previous section.
The tundra regions of Siberia, a narrow band bordering the Arctic Ocean from
Finland to the Bering Strait, and well above the Arctic Circle, is WARMER in
winter than the frozen forest of coniferous trees (taiga) to the south well
below the Arctic Circle. Here in the sub-arctic taiga south of the tree line
we find one of the coldest places on earth, the Omyakom-Yakutsk area,
at -68�C at a latitude of only 63�N. Latitude of course is not everything.
This area sits in a river valley which traps cold air, but the fact that
it's much warmer further north lends credence to our assertion of Arctic
warmth. A similar situation exists in Northern Canada. See Arctic map above
No one questions the above "contradiction". However, it is precisely the
fact of a polar opening through which warm air "spills over" that causes
warmth at higher latitudes. This has been shown beautifully by the great
nineteenth century polar explorers (see below). See also CONCLUSION re
warmth at higher altitude (temperature inversion)
Using the orthodox latitude designations, there are indications of the
limits of Arctic pack ice and drift ice (see map). Solid ice is shown as
starting between 700N and 80 N and proceeding right up to 90�N, as indicated
earlier.
The alternative viewpoint agrees with ice formation in the lower seventies ,
but explorers show that above 80� N ice breaks down almost completely, the
sea is mainly liquid water, the land (not much of it left), is the habitat
of many plants and animals, and the climate is comparitively temperate.
These facts are ABSOLUTELY INDISPUTABLE. Obviously this area is further
north of point C (see diagram ), where the latitude meter reads 90�N. There
is also an almost impenetrable "wall of China" ice barrier surrounding the
polar opening. This would appear to be immediately north of point C.
No one goes further "north" of point C
F because they think they are already "on
top of the world and what's the point
!? there's nowhere else to go!"

The following is a brief survey of explorers reports of conditions in
northern higher
latitudes, and is taken from Gardner (book 1)-- A JOURNEY TO THE EARTH'S
INTERIOR.
Reed (book 2) also has a similar report, somewhat briefer. Here in GARDNER
and REED
we have a unique record of Arctic anomalies reported firsthand by the
explorers
themselves. The books in Gardner's bibliography referred to are listed at
the end of

1853 after travelling due north over solid ice, Morton (Kane's collea gue),
was startled by the growing weakness of the ice, its surface becoming rotten
and the snow wet and pulpy. His dogs were seized with terror, refused to
advance, sledges rendered useless. Water observed further north. From Cape
Andrew Jackson could be seen a sea over 4000 square miles in area

Adolphus W. Greely
book 1e
Greely says in his book that the wonders of the Arctic regions are so great
that he understated them rather than lay himself open to the suspicion of
exaggerating
Lieutenant Lockwood one of Greely's assistants, explored the coast of
Greenland: tidal and ice effects convinced him open water spaces exist in
the polar ocean, its main ice moves all winter and forms barrier to further
sledge travel northwards

remarked that the further north he went the greater was the depth to which
the ground thawed. Also, when the tide was flowing from the north the water
was warmer than when flowing from the south.

Dr. Fridtjof Nansen books 1h, 1i, 1j, 1k
In 1888 Nansen startled the scientific world by announcing his determination
to cross the ice-dome of Greenland.
Nansen found that while the lower part of Greenland was ice covered, there
was every evidence of fertility and warmth further north and also a more
open sea. The party carried boats overland and used them in the open sea
along the coast of Greenland.
This requires a special comment. As you have seen, all the above explorers
found warmer conditions further north (Kane's dogs and sledges were rendered
useless when the ice started to melt). Thus the genius of NANSEN inproviding
boats for just such an "emergency" is brilliant foresight. See also
Diminishing Radius of Curvature part (ii) how Nansen was lost in the Arctic
Northern Greenland some nights too warm to sleep
Eskimos say a fertile land exists to the north
early 1894 at 79� -80� N among ice packs - north wind raises temperature,
south wind lowers it
Spring 80� N water at great depth warmer, contrary to a lower latitude where
water is colder deeper down
88�N temperatures rising, far more comfortable than further south
April 16 about mid 80s latitude sun scorched quite unpleasantly
May hardly sleep for heat
So there you have it! A few of the great Arctic explorers all saying the
same thing! Warm air from the interior could not cause the whole of the
polar basin to be ice-free. Obviously. But the two opposing forces of warm
air and an ice barrier would of course raise temperatures and give rise to
suspended particles of water vapour in the atmosphere. If the earth were
solid, the whole segment of latitudes 80� to 9o N would be solid ice. A
barren landscape, ice desert, with no possibility for the formation of
