The continental Arctic refers to the landmasses and regions situated within the Arctic Circle, primarily including parts of northern Canada, Greenland, Russia, and Alaska. It is characterized by its cold climate, permafrost, and unique ecosystems. This area is distinct from the marine Arctic, which is primarily oceanic and includes the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas. The continental Arctic plays a crucial role in global climate patterns and is home to various indigenous cultures and wildlife adapted to extreme conditions.
