The Antarctic Circle is the region in the Southern Hemisphere surrounding the South Pole.
The penguins waddled across the icy Antarctic landscape in search of food.
Antarctic is the southernmost continent on Earth and experiences extremely cold temperatures.
The climate zone below the Antarctic Circle is polar, characterized by extremely cold temperatures, high winds, and little precipitation. This region experiences long periods of darkness in winter and continuous daylight in summer.
The Arctic and Antarctic circles are named after the regions they mark. The Arctic Circle is named after the constellation Ursa Major, known as the Great Bear or "arctic bear," while the Antarctic Circle is named after the opposite direction of the Arctic Circle on the globe.
Everywhere on earth, four seasons occur: summer, fall, winter and spring. In the northern hemisphere, summer begins on June 21. In the southern hemisphere, summer begins on December 21. These are the solstice marks. Equinox marks -- March 21 and September 21 -- signal the beginning of the relative seasons.
