Introduction

The Arctic Circle marker in Rovaniemi, Finland, marks the official Arctic Circle in Lapland. The 66°33'N latitude passes through Santa Claus Village, with a white marker line, the ritual of crossing into the Arctic, plus Santa's office and post office — the core landmark of a Lapland Santa trip and the official "entering the Arctic Circle" photo spot. The marker is in Santa Claus Village ~8 km north of Rovaniemi — the 66°33'N line passes through. A white line on the ground lets visitors straddle it — the ritual of "entering the Arctic." Santa Claus Village is Lapland's most famous destination — Santa's office (photos), Santa's Post Office (Arctic-stamped postcards), SantaPark (underground theme park). In winter, snowmobiles, husky and reindeer sledding; in summer, the midnight sun. Rovaniemi, capital of official Lapland, is "Santa's hometown." Visiting to straddle 66°33'N and enter the Arctic Circle with Lapland's Santa atmosphere is a must-do photo pilgrimage in Finnish Lapland.
