Orienteering, which originated in Scandinavia, is the skill of navigating through the natural world by using a compass. Orienteering is now done on all inhabited continents. Thanks to the magnetic properties of the Earth, a free floating magnetic needle will always point north-south and from there a direction, or bearing, can be set to lead you where you want to go.
