Yes, on December 22nd, which is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the Arctic Circle is outside of the circle of illumination. During this time, areas within the Arctic Circle experience polar night, where the sun does not rise above the horizon. Consequently, these regions remain in darkness for 24 hours, while areas outside the circle continue to receive daylight.
