The North Pole could move by nearly 90 feet by 2100 - causing havoc for satellite navigation.

Scientists from ETH Zurich found that human-caused changes will soon outweigh the natural shifts.

As the polar ice sheets melt faster in the warming climate, Earth 's mass is redistributed, slightly shifting our planet's axis of rotation.

The biggest source of polar shift currently comes from the Earth rebounding from the last ice age.
