The best I can come up with is
El camino polar OR El turno polar
And by the way, has anyone been looking into that, the polar shift that earth experiences every 3,657 years or so?

I think you mean "polar inversion" although, sad to say, the terms seem to be confused with each other. - geofc, Nov 17, 2012
Yes, I suppose even the most popular English terms are not always the clearest. - SaigeSmith, Nov 19, 2012

"Traslado polar" seems to pop up here and there.

For the record the magnetic poles move around constantly. This is what is correctly referred to as "polar shift". - geofc, Nov 17, 2012

I believe this refers to a change of relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the north and south poles. There may be a scientific term, but in standard usage you can just say "el cambio polar."
