Antarctic Circle, parallel, or line of latitude around Earth, at 66°30′ S. Because Earth’s axis is inclined about 23.5° from the vertical, this parallel marks the northern limit of the area within which, for one day or more each year, at the summer a
The Antarctic (or Antarctica) Circle is one of the five major circles or parallels of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. Shown on the image above with a dashed red line, this parallel of latitude sits at approximately 66.33° south of the Equator. I...
Today the Magnetic South Pole lies far out to sea at latitude 64°S and longitude 137°E, around 1,057km (660 miles) away from where it was. The pole wanders daily in a roughly elliptical path around this average position, and may be as far as 80 km (50 miles) away from this ...

The Antarctic Circle was crossed at 32°W longitude. The pack ice did not present itself a problem until, on the morning of March 3 at a latitude of 72°18'S, she became firmly held in its grasp. They took a sounding and discovered they were at a depth only half that assumed so Th...

A final search was made for the bodies of Mackintosh and Hayward and, of course, they were not found. After the exhaustive searching, Captain Davis took the ship northward on January 17, 1917. The AURORA reached the main pack of ice on January 22 and crossed the Antarctic Circle on ...
After searching in vain for Bouvet's cape, Cook bore east and south. On January 17, 1773, at about 40°E longitude, he made the first crossing of the Antarctic Circle in history. At 67°15'S, the ice pack forced them north again, a mere 80 miles from the Antarctic coastline. In ...
