Four European countries extend beyond the Arctic Circle. They are Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia. Iceland also extends above the Arctic Circle and is often considered a European nation.
Europe is the continent that extends from the Equator to beyond the Arctic Circle. The northernmost parts of Europe, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, lie beyond the Arctic Circle.

Geographically, the Arctic is that area around the north pole where the sun does not set at the summer soltice or rise at the winter soltice. This is latitude 66° 32' N which is called the Artic Circle. Climatically, the Arctic Region is defined as those northern areas where the July temperatures do not reach 50°F or 10°C. The latitude of these condions varies both north and south of the Arctic circle. Since they occur on all sides of the north pole, the Arctic, by either definition includes all longitudes.
These circles mark the point on beyond which the geography experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset annually. At the farthest extent -- polar geographies -- the period is six months long.
The country farthest north in Eastern Europe is Russia. Specifically, the northernmost part of Russia, which lies in the Arctic region, extends far beyond the latitudes of other Eastern European countries. Other countries like Estonia and Latvia are also located in the northern part of Eastern Europe, but they do not reach as far north as Russia.
The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solsticerespectively).
European imperialism allowed for closer relations between the mother/fatherland and their colonies. Because of this, often European countries had access to cheap raw goods and cheap labor. This was soon expanded beyond just countries the Europeans had colonized and spread to most countries. Globalization started up because of imperialism.
Beyond both circles, the geography experiences periods of no daily sunrise/ sunset. Depending on where you are between the circles and the poles, the periods can be days, weeks or months. At the poles, the period is six months.
