Brief: Shift in Earth Causes Change in Runways

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 08:43 PM PST

Gadling reports that the shifting in the Earth's magnetic north pole has forced Tampa Airport to close one of its runways to repaint its designation. Runway 18R/36L will be redesignated 19R/1L when it reopens on Thursday. The other runways will change over later this month. The magnetic north pole has been shifting toward Russia at a rate of forty miles per year for the past decade.
