One
of the five major latitude
circles that
became the mark for maps of the Earth is the Arctic
Circle.
It is said that the Arctic Circle became a parallel of latitude in
the current year as it runs 66° 33′ 44″(or
66.5622°) to the north of the world's
Equator. As
it's mostly called by people, the Arctic is found in the North Pole
as the Antartica is found at the South Pole.
In most studies
conducted for the benefit of the people, the position of the Arctic
Circle is said to be not fixed and depends on the axial tilt of the
Earth. And it is due to the tidal forces brought about by the moon's
orbit. The normal citizens of this circle are penguins, polar bears,
scientists conducting studies, any animals that can withstand the
cool environment, and a Yeti (Snowman) according to some reports
though not proven at all.
There are so many
incredible things to see once you're in the Arctic. But if you can't
withstand the weather then you can't last that long. Recently,
photographs of trees full of snow mirrored a ghostly world to those
people who see it.
Just look at the
pictures and you'll know.
