Antarctic Circle
66°34′S
A circle of ocean and ice, where summer days can last 24 hours.
South of this circle, the sun can stay up all day in December and below the horizon all day in June, the reverse of the Arctic's seasons. The same slow tilt change moves it about 15 m toward the pole each year.
