Sixty-Fifth Parallel
The Sixty-Fifth Parallel is a circle of latitude located 65 degrees north of the equator. It runs through several countries, including parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Canada. This parallel is significant for its extreme northern climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers.
In regions along the Sixty-Fifth Parallel, the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun occurs during summer months, where the sun remains visible for 24 hours. Conversely, in winter, these areas experience polar nights, where the sun does not rise for an extended period. This unique daylight pattern affects local ecosystems and human activities.
