The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude. The Antarctic and Arctic Circles are the points at sea level at which the sun does not appear over the horizon at the respective Winter Solstices.

The first expedition to over-winter in Antarctica took place in 1899, and the expedition crew 'lived' on their vessel. Today, there is no no permanent population on the Antarctic continent. People who live and work there temporarily are supported by their governments and perform in support of science studying the health of planet earth.
