60° Parallel Fun Facts
- It crosses the following countries: Canada, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Finland, United Stated and United Kingdom.
- More than 40% of Canada’s total area is located above the 60th parallel.
- The biggest Canadian cities above the 60th parallel are Whitehorse and Dawson City in Yukon, Yellowknife and Inuvik in the Northwest Territories and Iqaluit in Nunavut.
- Although it lies approximately twice as far away from the Equator as from the North Pole, the 60th parallel is half as long as the Equator line, due to the cosine of 60 degrees being 0.5. This is where the Earth bulges halfway as much as on the Equator.
- There is a visitor Center in the border of Alberta an NWT. It’s a great place to stop and get that souvenir photo as you cross the Alberta/NWT border. The Park’s visitor information centre has a small campground and a scenic picnic area overlooking the beautiful Hay River.
