Enjoyed this article. Yes, I’ve crossed many times, never doused with cold water, thank goodness. In 2025, we returned South from the Arctic on 22 July 2025, experiencing 30 Celsius. This year, on 13th July it was a more reasonable 18 Celsius. Not only is there an Arctic warming, but three or four places in the Arctic are warming even more than others, and Norway is one of them.
We were amused that the ‘strictly accurate’ line through the Arctic Circle Centre was at least 400m too far south. However, the information in the Centre about the Arctic Circle was quite good – and confirmed all you wrote – and entry was free. This is quite a contrast to the visitor centre at Nordkapp.
