Circles of latitude between the 80th parallel north and the 85th parallel north

Following are circles of latitude between the 80th parallel north and the 85th parallel north:

The 81st parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 81 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.

At this latitude the sun is always visible during the summer solstice and astronomical twilight during the winter solstice.

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 81° north passes through:

The 82nd parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 82 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It passes through the Arctic Ocean and North America. This is the first line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere to only touch one continent.

At this latitude the sun is visible for 24 hours during the summer solstice and astronomical twilight during the winter solstice.

The world's northernmost continuously-inhabited settlement, the weather station and military facility of Alert in Nunavut, is closest to this parallel.

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 82° north passes through:
