The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. As of 16 February 2015, it runs 66°33′45.6″ north of the Equator.

The region north of this circle is known as the Arctic, and the zone just to the south is called the Northern Temperate Zone. The equivalent polar circle in the Southern Hemisphere is called the Antarctic Circle.

The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solstice respectively). North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore visible at midnight) and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore not visible at noon). On the Arctic Circle those events occur, in principle, exactly once per year, at the June and December solstices, respectively. However, in practice, because of atmospheric refraction and mirages, and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the northern summer solstice up to about 50′ (90 km (56 mi)) south of the Arctic Circle; similarly, on the day of the northern winter solstice, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50′ north of the Arctic Circle. That is true at sea level; those limits increase with elevation above sea level, although in mountainous regions there is often no direct view of the true horizon.

The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed. It directly depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period,[2] notably due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon. The Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year; see Circle of latitude for more information.

The Hibernation Station

8/10 Good

"Stayed 1 night in mid-March. I got the envelope with the key and instructions from the receptionist with a smile. Room was nice and quiet and warm. Fridge, microwave and coffee-maker. It is located right on the hwy 1 in Sterling. There some repairs going on, but not distructing. I would stay again. "

Kenai River Lodge

8/10 Good

"Everything worked, central location, friendly staff. Yet the hotel is showing its age and should get a makeover soon. Heating worked fine however the heater blower was rather noisy. Something the hotel is not responsible for, but it was apparent that the hotel is located on a busy intersection and the traffic noise early in the morning was quite noticeable! Speciffically a snow plow worked the same stretch of the street repeatedly for nearly an hour - sleeping became impossible with the noisy diesel engine howling on this piece of construction equipment turned street cleaner. (...there was no fresh snowfall that night, but the machine tried to get some residual ice remnants off the road at 5 am). So unfortunately not a great experience for my one night stay."
