The Arctic Circle delineates the area where the sun doesn’t set at the summer solstice or rise on the winter solstice, beginning roughly around 66 degrees North. It’s a marker for one of the most extreme parts of the Earth, which is what makes fires there so rare. It includes a fair chunk of land far from the seas that ring the Arctic Ocean, but Earther found at least one fire burning relatively close to the East Siberian Sea.
