The Arctic Circle, at roughly 67.5° north, is the boundary of the Arctic waters and lands. The Arctic Circle is one of the two polar circles, and the northernmost of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth at about 66° 34' N. [1] Its southern counterpart is the Antarctic Circle.

Are you wondering where or what the Arctic Circle is and what it would be like to travel there? Intrigued by the North Pole? Did you know the North Pole is warmer than the South Pole? Often people think of the Arctic Circle as being far or just wouldn’t think of it as a travel destination.

2023年9月8日 · Is the North Pole in the Arctic Circle? Yes, the geographic North Pole is the northernmost point of the Arctic region, and lies pretty much at the central point of the northern polar circle. And the distance from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole is around 1600 miles.

Everyone agrees that The Arctic is the northernmost region of Earth, surrounding the North Pole. But, how far south does this region extend? Is it the area north of the Arctic Circle? Or, does something else mark its boundary?
