Stand on Arctic Circle at Grímsey Island (Orbis et Globus), Iceland
The geographic boundary of the Arctic Circle is a constantly moving target, shifting with the Earth’s movement. The line is marked on maps at approximately 66.5 degrees north from the equator, its location is actually moving about 45 feet per year due to the fluctuating tilt of the Earth’s axis. The Arctic Circle does however pass through Grímsey island, which lies 40 kilometres (25 mi) off the north coast of Iceland.
The work, called “Orbis et Globus” (Latin for “Circle and Sphere”), is a giant concrete orb weighing nearly nine tons, installed on North Iceland’s Grímsey Island.
