You may be thinking of the Antarctic Circle.
The imaginary boundary between the Southern and Northern hemispheres is located at 20 degrees west and 160 degrees east of the Meridians. They are two semi-circular lines that are opposite of each other on the globe, which form an imaginary circle around the earth going through the poles.
they are : equator,antarctic circle,tropic of cancer,tropic of Capricorn and Arctic circle.
I'm sure that is the Antarctic Circle.
All north latitudes more than 66.5 degrees are inside the Arctic Circle, i.e. between the Circle and the North Pole.
The taiga biome is generally found between latitudes 50° and 65° N in the Northern Hemisphere, and 50° and 65° S in the Southern Hemisphere. This corresponds to regions like northern North America, Scandinavia, and parts of Siberia.
The equator is the best known such imaginary line. However, latitudes (including the Arctic Circle) are also imaginary lines encircling the earth as are longitudes.
Is along the arc of the Great Circle which is an imaginary circle with its centre at the centre of the earth and the two cities on its circumference. This is why the direct routes between some cities go over the pole rather than follow latitudes.

Mid-latitudes
The Arctic Circle.
"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".
