Show transcript
The Arctic Circle is an imagined circle around the North Pole that surrounds the area known as the Arctic. Much of the Artic Ocean around the North Pole is frozen sea ice, two to three metres thick, but this reduces in summer. The northern edges of three continents: North America, Europe and Asia, can be found within the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Summer has almost continuous daylight and the winter almost continuous darkness.
