The circumference of the Arctic Circle, at the 2018 Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, at UT 10 07 00:000, on 21 June, is predicted to be 66° 33’ 53.296” N, calculated in the WGS84 ellipsoid, is predicted to be 15,983.398753408930 km or 9,931.623539410424 international miles or 8,630.344899248882 international nautical miles. Calculated in the WGS84 ellipsoid, the area of the Arctic as defined by the Arctic Circle, at the 2018 Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, is predicted to be 21,203,815.464902 square km or 8,186,838.920334 square international miles.
Circumference calculated, using Charles Karney's Online rhumb line calculations using the RhumbSolve utility: "RhumbSolve is accurate to about 15 nanometers (for the WGS84 ellipsoid)" or 0.000015 of a millimetre/millimeter or 0.00000059 of an inch. In emails to me from Charles Karney: "The accuracy of 15 nanometers that I quote is for paths up to half-way round the earth." "The accuracy for the Airy" [1830] "ellipsoid will be (very nearly) the same as for the WGS84 ellipsoid because the parameters are roughly the same." On RhumbSolve online: "RhumbSolve performs rhumb line calculations". "The path with a constant heading between two points on the ellipsoid at (lat1, lon1) and (lat2, lon2) is called the rhumb line (or loxodrome)". "NOTE: the rhumb line is not the shortest path between two points; that is the geodesic and it is calculated by GeodSolve. Area personally calculated in the WGS84 ellipsoid, using Charles Karney's geodesic polygon calculations using the Planimeter utility. "The result for the area is accurate to about 0.1 m² per vertex."
