Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle is a geographical region north of the Arctic Circle line, encompassing the Arctic Ocean and parts of several countries, including Greenland (an autonomous territory of Denmark). Greenland's strategic location and resources have recently made the Arctic Circle newsworthy. Specifically, former US President Trump expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, citing national security concerns. This sparked controversy and prompted Denmark's Prime Minister to reject the idea. Furthermore, scientific research in the Arctic Circle, such as using drones to identify viruses in whales, highlights the region's ecological importance and the potential impact of diseases on marine life. The Arctic Circle's strategic, economic, and environmental significance continues to draw global attention.
