Arctic Circle
66°34′N
The gateway to the midnight sun: a latitude where summer daylight lasts around the clock.
North of this circle, summer brings days when the sun never sets and winter days when it never rises. Earth's slowly changing tilt moves the circle about 15 m toward the pole each year, so the app computes today's value.
