Eighty-Third Parallel North
Eighty-Third Parallel North is a circle of latitude located 83 degrees north of the equator. It runs through the Arctic region, primarily over the Arctic Ocean and parts of the surrounding landmasses, including areas of Greenland and Svalbard. This parallel is significant for scientific research, particularly in studying climate change and polar ecosystems.
The area around the Eighty-Third Parallel North is characterized by extreme cold and ice-covered landscapes. It is largely uninhabited, with few permanent settlements. The region is also home to unique wildlife, such as polar bears and seals, which have adapted to the harsh Arctic conditions.
