The Arctic Circle is something that will remind you of 7th grade geography. It is an imaginary line that circles around the top of Earth. But what makes it so special is that the north of the Arctic Circle receives at least one day of darkness and one day of full sunlight, also called Midnight Sun and Polar Night.
