The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line on globes and charts at about 66.5°N latitude. Locations north of the Arctic Circle can experience at least one 24-hour period of "night" during the winter. At the North Pole, this becomes 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. To "draw" the Arctic Circle, make a circle centered on the North Pole, about 2600 kilometers (1616 miles) in radius.

Why is Svalbard dark at midday on 21st December?
Svalbard is one of the northernmost places on the planet, being above the Arctic Circle. Since it is in the Northern Hemisphere, it experiences winter from December to March. For a part of winter, it is night for twenty-four hours a day north of the Arctic Circle. This has to do with the position of the Sun and the tilt of the Earth. This phenomena is known as polar night, and occurs in the Antarctic Circle during its winter months as well.
