The Arctic Ocean.
The polar zones are located between latitudes 66.5 degrees north (Arctic Circle) and 66.5 degrees south (Antarctic Circle). The North Pole is located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.
The Arctic Circle is just a little north of 66 degrees north.
The imaginary line located at 66.5 degrees south latitude is called the Antarctic Circle. This is the southernmost latitude at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours during the summer and winter solstices, respectively. It marks the boundary of the Antarctic region.
Part of Alaska lies above the Arctic Circle.
