The Seventy-Seventh Parallel North is a circle of latitude located 77 degrees north of the equator. It runs through the Arctic region, primarily across the Arctic Ocean and parts of the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. This parallel is significant for mapping and navigation in polar regions. Due to its extreme northern position, the Seventy-Seventh Parallel North experiences unique climatic conditions, including long periods of daylight in summer and darkness in winter. It is also home to various Arctic wildlife and ecosystems, which are adapted to the harsh environment found in this region.
