Compute the position of the Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle is a parallel circle at approximately latitude 66° 34'N, but it is moving. Here you can calculate the position of the Arctic Circle for a given year.

Description

The computation service, with much simplified formulas, can be used to obtain the latitude of the Arctic Circle for a given year.

Note that the changing direction of the movement is not accounted for. This means that the computation is not valid for an unlimited period of time. However, it is useful for of hundreds of years forward and backward in time. More information about the Arctic Circle (pdf, in Swedish, new window).
