67th parallel north

The 67th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 67 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, about 50 km north of the Arctic Circle. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.

At this latitude midnight sun lasts from about June 1st to July 10th, and the sun is visible for 1 hour, 30 minutes during the winter solstice. At midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is 0.85°.

If the latitude in the northern hemisphere is 67°45′ or smaller, every day in the month of March can view both astronomical dawn and astronomical dusk.
