Geomagnetism is a fascinating subject that can inspire the imagination. An invisible field that can guide us to where we want to go, that protects us from the harsh space weather environment, helps produce beautiful aurae, and magnetic poles that can wander unexpectedly. In this space we are gathering some of the external links to interesting stories, articles, or comics that help us tell the story of geomagnetism and what it means to society.
