The Arctic Circle

 

The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are lines drawn on maps near latitude 66.5°, north or south. The particular significance of these circles is that they delimit the areas on earth where the sun remains in the sky for 24 hours in summer. And conversely,where the sun entirely disappears for 24 hours or more in the wintertime. In the vicinity of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, therefore, one can expect to find the true territories of the Midnight Sun. Sunshine at midnight can be enjoyed in many parts of northern Iceland during summer, for the Arctic Circle narrowly misses the country?s northernmost points and lies right across the island of Grímsey, north of Iceland. Visiting Grímsey and thereby crossing the Arctic Circle is something many people want to do. All who come to the island are provided with a document confirming the fact that they have actually travelled north of the Arctic Circle and the precise location of the circle itself is marked by a signpost indicating distances to some of the world?s main cities.
