We present the first study of disorder in planar metamaterials consisting of
strongly interacting metamolecules, where coupled electric dipole and magnetic
dipole modes give rise to a Fano-type resonant response and show that
positional disorder leads to light localization inherently linked to collective
magnetic dipole excitations. We demonstrate that the magnetic excitation
persists in disordered arrays and results in the formation of "magnetic
hot-spots"
