This is how sea turtles do it, too, and why sea turtle release has to happen on the beach despite the higher risk of predators. They get sand up their nose and calibrate based on the magnetism of the iron, iirc | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Humans may be capable of geomagnetic sensing as well. As a human myself, I've got to imagine this is extremely difficult to control for sensing vs other forms of navigation (sun, stars, moon, wind, animal migration, etc.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
