Explanation:
The Antarctic Circle is a parallel of latitude on the Earth at approximately 66.5 degrees south of the equator. On the day of the southern summer solstice around December 22 each year), an observer on the Antarctic Circle will see the Sun above the horizon for a full 24 hours.
The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed; as of 19 November 2018, it runs 66°33′47.4″ south of the Equator. Its latitude depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of more than 2° over a 41,000-year period, due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon.
The Antarctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude at 66° 33′ 39″ south of the Equator, crossing mostly the Southern Ocean.
The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are very important on Earth maps. The Arctic Circle is at a latitude of 66.5 degrees north of the Equator. This imaginary circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere where the sun can remain above or below the horizon for 24 hours (June 21st and December 21st).
The closest country to Antarctica
South America, the point of which is shared by Argentina and Chile, is the closest continent to Antarctica. At the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, 1238 km south of Ushuaia (the southern-most city of Argentina) is the Argentinian station Vice Comodoro Marambio.
