-- In the northern Hemisphere, there is no land north of about 83.63° north latitude.
That's a radius of about 425 miles all the way around the north Pole. But there's
plenty of ice, so sailing around those latitudes isn't easy.
-- In the Southern Hemisphere, there is no land from about 55.97° to 61° south latitude ...
a gap of almost 350 miles ... except for the tiny South Orkney Islands which occupy less
than 15 miles in that gap.
the equator
The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
The line of latitude running around the approximate middle of the globe is the EQUATOR.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.
