AB: The magnetic dip-poles have been the topic of various historical and recent research activity. In addition, their location, and especially their motion, has attracted a large amount of public interest. This interest has been increased during the last few months thanks to the International Polar Year (IPY). The North dip-pole is presently located in the Canadian arctic, moving in a northwest direction, while the South dip-pole is located off the coast of Antarctica, south of Australia. A few important questions will be addressed, as: How fast do the poles move? What causes different motions in the North and South dip-poles? Where will the dip-poles be during the coming years?
