The land on the Arctic Circle is divided among eight countries:

Europe:

  • Norway
  • Sweden
  • Finland
Europe and Asia
  • Russia
North America
  • USA (Alaska)
  • Canada
  • Denmark (Greenland - autonomous country within the Danish Realm - the rest of Denmark is , of course in Europe)
North America/Europe?
  • Iceland (where it passes through the small offshore island of Grímsey). The separation between the North American and European tectonic plates passes through Iceland but I'm not sure which side of the island it lies on.

How do you draw the Arctic Circle?

The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line on globes and charts at about 66.5°N latitude. Locations north of the Arctic Circle can experience at least one 24-hour period of "night" during the winter. At the North Pole, this becomes 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. To "draw" the Arctic Circle, make a circle centered on the North Pole, about 2600 kilometers (1616 miles) in radius.
