how do the positions of the Magnetic North Pole in 1871 and today compare to the position of the Geographic North Pole?

Explanation:

The North Geographical Pole would be where parallel lines combine into what we term the North Pole. In northern Ontario, the Geographic Pole is a location in which the northern attraction lines join the Planet. A compass needle will indicate the direction of both the direction of the magnetic field. Magnetic orientation is the main reason.
