Which are the countries of the Arctic?

There is no Arctic continent or landmass - there is only the Arctic Ocean that is bounded by the coasts of three continents - Europe, Asia and North America.

The Arctic Circle passes through seven countries that have a considerable portion of land within the Arctic Circle. The countries are the United States of America, Greenland, Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Of these, Russia has by far the largest area. Iceland has a tiny region - less than one square km  inside the Arctic Circle.

 All these countries, except for Finland and Sweden, which do not have an Arctic coastline, face each other directly across the Arctic Ocean. Some other areas within the Arctic  Circle include the Lapland province in Finland, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and part of Nunavut in Canada.

Davis Strait in the Atlantic Ocean, the Island of Grimsey, which is part of Ice-
land, and the Greenland and Norwegian Seas in the Atlantic Ocean are also within this circle.
