South magnetic pole
Apparently, the location of the south magnetic pole is most often calculated (rather than directly measured) as follows:
"The magnetic south pole is defined as the point on Earth's surface where the geomagnetic field lines are vertical, meaning they point directly upward (perpendicular to the surface). This location is determined by finding where the magnetic field's inclination is +90° (opposite to the magnetic north pole where it is -90°). These measurements come from a combination of ground-based, airborne, and satellite observations."
Assuming the measurements aren't completely fabricated, how could I explain to someone that there "appears" to be a location based on the convergence of magnetic fields lines in the "south" ?
