Those are the "polar" regions.
In The Middle Latitudes And The Arctic Circle (North America Is in the Tropic Of Cancer)
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
Zero
Yes, there are. The adder or northern viper (Vipera berus) can naturally be found well within the Arctic Circle having been recorded at latitudes of 69 degrees North in Scandinavia.
