Eighty-Second Parallel
The "Eighty-Second Parallel" refers to a specific line of latitude located at 82 degrees north of the equator. This parallel runs through the Arctic region, primarily across the Arctic Ocean and parts of the surrounding landmasses, including areas of Greenland and Russia. It is significant in geography and climate studies, as it marks a boundary where extreme polar conditions are prevalent.
In terms of exploration, the Eighty-Second Parallel has been a point of interest for scientists and adventurers alike. It is often associated with polar expeditions that seek to understand the effects of climate change and the unique ecosystems found in the Arctic. The region is largely uninhabited, making it a focus for research on glacial movements and wildlife.
