Circles of latitude between the 65th parallel north and the 70th parallel north

Following are circles of latitude between the 65th parallel north and the 70th parallel north. This includes the Arctic Circle, at 66°33′49.6″ north.

66th parallel north

The 66th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 66 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, approximately south of the Arctic Circle. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.

This latitude also roughly corresponds to the minimum latitude in which midnight sun can last all night near the summer solstice.

At this latitude midnight sun lasts from about 12 to 29 June, and the sun is visible for 2 hours, 47 minutes during the winter solstice. At midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is 0.00°.

Around the world Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 66° north passes through:

67th parallel north

The 67th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 67 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, approximately 50 km north of the Arctic Circle. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.

At this latitude midnight sun lasts from approximately 2 June to 10 July, and the sun is visible for about 1 hour and 30 minutes during the winter solstice. At midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is 0.85°.

If the latitude in the northern hemisphere is 67°45′ or smaller, every day in the month of March can view both astronomical dawn and astronomical dusk.

Around the world Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 67° north passes through:

68th parallel north

The 68th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 68 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.

At this latitude midnight sun lasts from about May 26th to July 16th, and civil polar twilight from about December 9th to January 3rd. At noon on the summer and winter solstices, the altitude of the sun is 45.45° and -0.7° respectively. At midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is 1.76°.

This latitude is the boundary between the Southern and Arctic zones of Canada's National Topographic System, at which the longitude span of each map sheet doubles as one crosses this latitude going north.

Around the world Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 68° north passes through:
