What navigational risk increases during sustained Arctic exploration when using only chronometers and sextants?

💡 Explanation

Magnetic declination drift errors increase because terrestrial magnetism's behavior shifts geographically, making compass readings and calculated true north increasingly unreliable; therefore Arctic navigators are imperiled, rather than imprecise storms measured accurately by chronometers/sextants
