Antarctic Circle

It occurs in winter north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle, which are circumpolar lines at latitude 66.6 degrees North and South respectively.

Earth rotates on a titled axis which means there are periods of the year where the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle are either completely exposed or obscured from the sun.

They were still 600 miles from the nearest coastline and hadn’t even crossed the Antarctic Circle.

Though the vessel shares a name with the first ship to cross the Antarctic Circle, captained by James Cook just under 250 years ago, it’s very unlike the original Resolution.

As Australia was much further south 110m years ago, these Victorian dinosaurs would have been living within the Antarctic Circle.
