what degrees does the arctic circle sit at
Arctic Circle The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed; as of 22 January 2018, it runs 66°33′47.0″ north of the Equator.[1] Its latitude depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period, due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon.[2] Consequently, the Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards at a speed of about 15 metres (49 feet) per year.
