The Antarctic Circle is located at approximately 66.5 degrees south latitude. This means it is about 23.5 degrees away from the South Pole.
Antarctica
The North Pole is located in the Arctic, the South Pole is located in the Antarctic. The region around the North Pole is known as the Arctic.
About 23 degrees north of the South Pole is the Antarctic Circle, which marks the northernmost point at which the sun stays continuously above the horizon during the December solstice. This region experiences extreme winter conditions with long periods of darkness and freezing temperatures.
The imaginary circle on Earth where the South Pole starts is called the Antarctic Circle. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.
The region between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole is called the Arctic region. The region between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole is called the Antarctic region.
There are no countries south of the Antarctic Circle. In fact, all land south of 60 degrees S is governed by the Antarctic Treaty. Between 60 degrees S and the Antarctic Circle, you will find the Southern Ocean.

The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
The Antarctic Circle
The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole.
The Antarctic Circle surrounds the globe at approx. 23.5 degrees north of the south pole.That would be 156.5 degrees south of the north pole.
