Circles of latitude between the 70th parallel north and the 75th parallel north

{{short description|Circles of latitude}} Following are '''circles of latitude between the 70th parallel north and the 75th parallel north''':

==71st parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=71}} {{kml}} The '''71st parallel north''' is a circle of latitude that is 71 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America, and passes through some of the southern seas of the Arctic Ocean.

At this latitude the sun is visible for 24 hours, 0 minutes during the summer solstice and Civil Twilight during the winter solstice.

===Around the world=== Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 71° north passes through:

==72nd parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=72}} {{kml}} The '''72nd parallel north''' is a circle of latitude that is 72 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia, the Arctic Ocean and North America.

At this latitude, the sun is visible for 24 hours, 0 minutes during the summer solstice and Civil Twilight during the winter solstice. This is the parallel where twilight/nighttime boundary on the equinoxes.

This is also the highest parallel that golden hour occurs even at midnight sun, because the Sun is less than 6°00'00" above the horizon. Midnight Sun without golden hour occurs at latitudes greater than 72°33'38.58804", i.e., about 666.8 km (414.3 mi) north of the Arctic Circle in the case of the '''June Solstice'''.

===Around the world=== Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 72° north passes through:

==73rd parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=73}} {{kml}} The '''73rd parallel north''' is a circle of latitude that is 73 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia, the Arctic Ocean and North America.

At this latitude midnight sun lasts from about May 4th to August 7th, and polar night from about November 12th to January 29th, with nautical polar twilight lasting from about December 11th to January 1st. At noon on the summer and winter solstices, the altitude of the sun is 40.45° and -6.44° respectively. At midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is 6.57°.

===Greenland=== Between 1776 and 1950, the 73rd parallel formed the northern limit of the Royal Greenland Trade Department's exclusive monopoly on trade near the Dano-Norwegian and later Danish colonies of Greenland (1776–1782) and North Greenland (1782–1950).<ref name="ole!">Marquardt, Ole.
