The Ninety-Second Parallel is a circle of latitude located 92 degrees north of the equator. It runs through the Arctic Ocean and is primarily situated in the polar regions, where temperatures are extremely low and the environment is characterized by ice and snow. This parallel is significant for scientific research, particularly in studying climate change and Arctic ecosystems. Geographically, the Ninety-Second Parallel is close to the North Pole, making it one of the northernmost latitudes on Earth. It serves as a reference point for navigation and mapping, and it is often used in discussions about the impacts of global warming on polar regions and the melting of sea ice.
