The 70th Parallel North is a circle of latitude located 70 degrees north of the Equator. It runs through the Arctic region, primarily across the Arctic Ocean, and passes through parts of countries like Norway, Russia, and Canada. This parallel is significant for its proximity to the North Pole, marking a boundary where the climate is predominantly polar. At this latitude, the environment is characterized by extreme cold, ice, and limited vegetation. The area experiences long periods of daylight in summer and extended darkness in winter. Wildlife, such as polar bears and arctic foxes, can be found in this harsh yet fascinating ecosystem.
