This picture is very confusing and at worst an outright lie. First off it needs to clarify if it is talking about magnetic north or true north. from the picture implying number 4 is our current position, it looks as though it is referring to true north. If that's the case, this picture is patently false because the true north (defined as the direction our axis of rotation tilts in reference to the sky) precesses in a 24,000 year rotation varying from pointing at Polaris to the Vega and back. because the crust of earth is a nearly rigid body it's almost impossible for it's alignment during rotation to change due to angular momentum.After thinking a little more, it could be possible that this article is attempting to use a frame of reference of the shifting plates rather then of the actual pole itself, but that posses a problem with why the artist choose the landmass shapes as he did. I still think it doesn't work out, but I'm an budding astronomer, not a geologist, so I'll leave that determination up to someone else.And if this picture is attempting to point out the magnetic north, then it's very out of date, as magnetic north is several degrees away from true north, lying somewhere in the north American continent in Canada.
