Ireland and Iceland are in a temperate zone, as they are between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Arctic Circle. So naturally they have temperate climates. The Arctic Circle itself is the start of a polar region, so inside of it is a frigid zone. Only the very edges of the Arctic Circle would have elements of a temperate climate, as the further you go in, the closer you are getting to the North Pole. Iceland itself is very close to, but just outside the Arctic Circle, but it also benefits from the Gulf Stream, bringing warmer waters to that area. Ireland benefits even more from that.
