3:15 AM LOCAL TIMEArctic Coast is a vast, dynamic region defined by extreme latitude and Arctic Ocean influence. From the Greenland Sea and the Canadian Archipelago across to the Barents and Lena and Yukon deltas, it features permafrost, sea ice, and seasonal temperature swings. The landscape is shaped by glaciers, tundra, and powerful storms — expect rapid weather changes and large seasonal shifts in sea state and ice cover. Human presence varies from sparse-wave shipping and Indigenous communities to scientific stations and remote wilderness. Activities include ship transit, icebreaking, wildlife viewing, and permafrost research; regional access may be limited by timing, weather, and local infrastructure.
