2 -- Magnetic Declination
The Earth is completely surrounded by a magnetic field, and an unobstructed magnetized object
will orient itself with magnetic north and south poles. Magnetic declination (or magnetic variation) is
the difference between true geographic north (north pole) and magnetic north (in northern Canada),
with respect to your position. It is important to note magnetic declination at your position
, because
magnetic declination varies and fluctuate slowly at different rates, around the world. (Fig 4)
