Nestled at 66.5 degrees North Latitude, the Arctic Circle serves as a boundary between the subarctic and the true Arctic, a region known for its harsh and unforgiving climate. But despite its frozen and inhospitable reputation, the Arctic Circle is home to a rich array of wildlife, indigenous cultures, and stunning natural beauty.

From the majestic polar bears and reindeer that roam its tundras, to the vibrant summer sun that shines for 24 hours a day, the Arctic Circle is a place of unique contrasts and incredible diversity. Yet despite its remoteness, the Arctic Circle has become increasingly important in recent years, as melting sea ice has opened up new shipping lanes and increased competition for its rich oil and gas reserves.

This increased attention has brought both opportunities and challenges to the region, as governments, corporations, and communities work to balance economic development with environmental conservation. Climate change is having a profound impact on the Arctic, with rising temperatures causing melting sea ice, thawing permafrost, and threatening the survival of its ecosystems and the communities that rely on them.
