the north magnetic pole moves much, over 60 degrees E/W:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Magnetic_Pole

"The North Magnetic Pole moves over time due to magnetic changes in the
Earth's core.[1] In 2001, it was determined by the Geological Survey of
Canada to lie west of Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at 81.3°N
110.8°W. It was situated at 83.1°N 117.8°W in 2005. In 2009, while still
situated within the Canadian Arctic
territorial claim at 84.9°N 131.0°W,[2] it was moving toward Russia at
between 55 and 60 kilometres (34 and 37 mi) per year.[3] As of 2017, the
pole is projected to have moved beyond the Canadian Arctic territorial
claim to 86.5°N 172.6°W"


Keep in mind that I'm not referring to the movement of the Earth's magnetic pole. I'm talking about Earth's mechanical pole of rotation.
