Reply to comment by ParatusLetum in During the last ice age, how long would it have taken for the ice sheets to form? by CDNEmpire
Is it a coincidence that ice has been close to the magnetic north and south poles? I searched for information, but only found that the ice caps are made up of fresh water, which has a lower electrical conductivity than salt water or rock, and act as a barrier to the flow of electrical currents in the Earth's crust, and this can affect the magnetic field in their vicinity.
