The Arctic is a polar region located at the northernmost part of the Earth. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, the United States (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. The Arctic region consists of a vast, ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless permafrost. The area can be defined as north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33'N), the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night. Alternatively, it can be defined as the region where the average temperature for the warmest month (July) is below 10 °C (50 °F); the northernmost tree line roughly follows the isotherm at the boundary of this region.

Points of Interest[]
- North Pole
- The North Pole is a terrestrial region located at the northernmost portion of the planet Earth. Its really nothing more than a bunch of snow and penguins. However, some believe that a jolly old wizard with a kind heart and magical gift-giving abilities maintains a house and workshop at the North Pole. This mythical being, known to some as Father Christmas, but others as Santa Claus, works year around with the help of some elves to build toys for all of the good boys and girls across the globe.
