The location of the Arctic Circle isn’t fixed and as per reports, its’ location is 66°33′47.2″ to the north of “Equator” on the 3rd July 2018.
In average, the 66° 30' north latitude is the Arctic Circle. Its latitude is dependent on the axial tilt of the Earth, which alters within a 2° margin over a course of 40,000 years.
The reason for this shift is the tidal forces being caused by the Moon’s orbit. At present, the Arctic Circle is drifting to the North at a velocity of approximately15 metres in a year.
