67th Parallel
The 67th Parallel is a circle of latitude located 67 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It runs through several countries, including parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This parallel is significant in geography as it marks a boundary in the Arctic region, where the climate is predominantly cold and harsh.
In addition to its geographical importance, the 67th Parallel is notable for its proximity to the Arctic Circle, which is located at approximately 66.5 degrees north. This area experiences unique phenomena such as the Midnight Sun and polar nights, where the sun does not set or rise for extended periods during certain times of the year.
