The Arctic circle is the line around the most northern part of the earth, at the northern top of our sphere. The latitude for the Arctic circle is 66° 33’45.9” north of the equator, it defines the furthest southern point of which the sun stays either continuously below or above the horizon depending on the time of year. The area inside the circle is considered “Arctic”. During the height of summer, the sun never sets within this area and during the depths of winter the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon. The Arctic is home to long dark winters where the sky is lit up by the northern lights and the home of long bright summers with midnight sun.
