Circles of latitude between the 75th parallel north and the 80th parallel north

Following are '''circles of latitude between the 75th parallel north and the 80th parallel north''':

==76th parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=76}} {{kml}} The '''76th parallel north''' is a circle of latitude that is 76 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 nautical twilight during the winter solstice.

===Around the world=== Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 76° north passes through:

==79th parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=79}} {{kml}} The '''79th parallel north''' is the circle of latitude located 79 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 astronomical twilight during the winter solstice.

===Around the world=== Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 79° north passes through:

==80th parallel north== {{Location map-line|lat=80}} {{kml}} The '''80th parallel north''' is a circle of latitude that is 80 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, and 10 degrees (690 miles / 1100 kilometers) south of the North Pole, 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 astronomical twilight during the winter solstice.

This latitude is the boundary between the Arctic and High Arctic zones of Canada's National Topographic System, at which the longitude span of each map sheet doubles as one crosses this latitude going north.

===Around the world=== Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 80° north passes through:
