False. Only the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and European Russia, are within the Arctic Circle.
Is the Arctic Circle generally warmer or colder than Antarctica?
It depends on the time of the year, they normally have the same range of temperatures but winter (the time it is really cold not necessarily a season) is normally longer in Antarctica.The Arctic Circle on average has a temperature of -2 degrees Fahrenheit and Antarctica has an average of -6 FahrenheitAnother AnswerUSA Today prints: "The average high temperature for the year in Antarctica is about -49 degrees F, while the average low temperature for the continent is about -56 degrees F."Antarctica is a continent and is about 30 degrees F colder than its polar counterpart in the Arctic north, which is sea water and sea ice. This is one of the reasons why humans have lived for tens of thousands of years in the Arctic, but Antarctica is uninhabitable for any native peoples or animals: it's too cold.
Does Alaska have warm weather?
Yes, even above the arctic circle, it can get over 90 degrees F in the summer.
What is the arctic tundras climate zone?
Temperature Range: -22 °C to 6 °C (-10 °F to 41 °F).Average Annual Precipitation: 20 cm (8 in).Latitude Range: 60° - 75° N.Global Position: arctic zone of North America; Hudson Bay region; Greenland coast; northern Siberia bordering the Arctic Ocean.
What is the arctic latitude?
Geographically, the Arctic is that area around the north pole where the sun does not set at the summer soltice or rise at the winter soltice. This is latitude 66° 32' N which is called the Artic Circle. Climatically, the Arctic Region is defined as those northern areas where the July temperatures do not reach 50°F or 10°C. The latitude of these condions varies both north and south of the Arctic circle. Since they occur on all sides of the north pole, the Arctic, by either definition includes all longitudes.
Can the arctic be hotter than 0 degrees?
Arctic temperatures are not constantly below freezing, although for many locations it stays very cold. The warmest temperatures above the Arctic Circle are found in northwest Russia and northern Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland) where summer daytime temperatures above 15°C (59 °F) are not uncommon. Cities above the Arctic Circle include Bodo (Norway) and Murmansk (Russia).
Why is it cold in Greenland and warm in the Caribbean island?

What is the average temperature in a polar zone?
The annual mean temperature at the South Pole in winter is -76 °F (-60 °C) and -18 °F (-28.2 °C) in summer. The annual mean temperature at the North Pole is -40 °F (-40 °C) in winter and 32 °F (0 °C) in summer. Note that the average elevation of Antarctica is considerably higher than the Arctic, so the temperatures are expected to be much lower.
