The Arctic Circle Sign: as seen on Atlas Obscura

Byalecjrosen

While it’s a sign marking a geographical line (Arctic Circle) it is also a very cool place to stop. it’s not easy place to get to, driving up the Dalton Highway.

Worth a Stop

It’s really in the middle of nowheres. Which makes it the perfect place to be.

While you are there at 66’33” North, more than 99% of the world’s population is south of you.

Ahead of you lies the Brooks Range mountains, Atigun Pass and the North Slope all the ways to the Arctic Ocean.
