The biggest Phenomenon in the Arctic Circle is whats called polarnight or midwinter darkness. This is when the night lasts more than 24hrs, and usually occurs around December 21. The opposite of this is the polarday or midnight sun. This of course, is when it is light out for more than 24 hrs. The Arctic Circle will see this around June. So, although the sun doesn't shine much during the winter, it shines on the entire region for part of the day March-September.

The climate is very cold in the Arctic Circle. If you don't like the cold, this isn't the place for you! During the winter, it can get as low as 20 degrees farenheight under zero up to 2 degrees abover zero on average. During the summer, it ranges from 10 degress farenheight to 30 degrees. So although it is very cold, it is possible to live there.
Here is the Arctic Circle during the summer, where agriculture is flourishing!
