Any star whose declination is higher than (90 - your latitude) will be "circum-polar", meaning that the star will never appear to set. The star Alkaid, one of the handle stars in the Big Dipper, has a declination of 49 degrees. If your latitude is 90-49=41 N, then the star Alkaid will never go below the horizon.
There is more than one star in the handle of the Big Dipper: Alkaid, Alcor, Mizar, and Alioth. See Related Links.
