Are you referring to the magnetic pole switch? That happens every 200-1M years, according to patterns on the seafloor. It’s been estimated that the last reversal was 780,000 years ago, so it theoretically could be any day now.
With that being said, I doubt that humanity will agree to turn all maps 180° to correspond.
It’s also the only continent without a southern coast.
For now. It used to a few million years ago and will again in another few million.

I was referring to continental drift. Places move a lot in under 200 million years. Eg https://youtu.be/uLahVJNnoZ4
So my post was a bit sarcastic that eventually it will have a coast but not on any time frame to matter to the human species. :)
Laschamp event! I just edited a related wiki page on late Pleistocene extinctions. Spoiler alert: it didn’t kill the megafauna.
Yeah, because you’ll fall off the bottom into space
