The 84th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 84 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. No land lies on the 84th parallel north; it only lies on the Arctic Ocean; this is the first parallel by degree to do so. Regions north of this latitude are excluded from UTM Zones. The northernmost land on earth, Kaffeklubben Island, Greenland,[1] is roughly 40 kilometres south of this parallel. At this latitude the sun is visible for 24 hours, 0 minutes during the summer solstice and during the winter solstice, the latitude is under astronomical twilight.
