The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
The Arctic Circle is in the Northern Hemisphere and encompasses the area around the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere and surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle is predominantly ocean surrounded by land, while the Antarctic Circle is mostly landmass surrounded by ocean. Both circles mark the latitudes where 24 hours of continuous daylight or darkness can occur, depending on the time of year.
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere and surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere and surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle is characterized by polar bears and a mix of land and sea ice, while the Antarctic Circle is known for penguins and a landmass covered by a thick ice sheet.
Fabian Gottlieb Thaddeus von Bellingshausen led the First Russian Antarctic Expedition in 1819.From Wikipedia:"Leaving Portsmouth on 5 September 1819 the expedition crossed the Antarctic Circle (the first to do so since Cook) on 26 January 1820. "
If you experience 24 hours of daylight in the summer, you would be located in regions north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for the entire 24 hours due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Only Antarctica is crossed by the Antarctic Circle.
The continent of Antarctica is crossed by and surrounded by the Antarctic Circle.

The Antarctic Convergence was first crossed by Anthony de la Roché in 1675.
The Antarctic Circle circles the whole Earth roughly 1,620 miles from the south pole.It crosses parts of the Southern Ocean and the continent of Antarctica. There areno parts of any countries anywhere on the circle.
To the best of my knowledge the only traditional thing a sailor does upon passing over the Antarctic Circle is get their left ear pierced. They will get it pierced for crossing the equator and arctic circle also.
The Antarctic Circle -- 66°S 33′ 44″ - the latitude in the Southern Hemisphere south of which marks locations on earth that experience at least one 24-hour day and one 24-hour night each year. The Antarctic Circle crosses Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.

Yes, there is an Antarctic Circle.
Antarctic Circle
At about 66 degrees S, the Antarctic Circle passes through the South Pacific, the South Atlantic and the South Indian oceans. South of 60 degrees S, all these oceans feed the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica.
