AUSTRALIA’S LEADING CRUISE MARKETPLACE
The Arctic is one of those destinations that invariably scores highly on most people's travel wish lists. Pristine landscapes, bountiful wildlife, indigenous tribes and natural phenomena give the Arctic a unique appeal, while its proximity to Europe and the northern reaches of Canada and the United States make it more accessible than other wilderness areas. Plus, it has much to offer travelers wanting to follow in the footsteps of explorers to discover a region that is rich in natural experiences and, in parts, still relatively untouched by the 21st century.
The Arctic Circle
The Arctic is the area North of 66 degrees latitude – The Arctic Circle. It’s mostly made up of the Arctic Ocean surrounded by northern Canada, Alaska, Russia and Greenland. There is no landmass at the North Pole. The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line that marks the latitude above which the sun does not set on the summer solstice (21st June) and does not rise on the winter solstice (21st December). North of this latitude, continuous day or night last around six months at the North Pole.
