Geomagnetic SV affects very much our life News Sport Weather Shop Earth Travel Jersey Jersey airport runway re-named as magnetic pole shifts 15 October 2014 Jersey In addition to water and air, our life depends also on geomagnetic field! The changes should last for 56 years, the airport said Jersey's runways will be re-numbered on Wednesday night as island aviation authorities catch up with the planet's shifting magnetic field.
