The National Land Survey marking the Arctic Circle at Juoksengi 1996 with
DGPS equipement.
DGPS works by placing a high- performance GPS receiver (reference station) at a known
location. Since the receiver knows its exact location, it can determine the errors in the
satellite signals. It does this by measuring the ranges to each satellite using the
signals received and comparing these measured ranges to the actual ranges calculated from
its known position. |

Crossing the Arctic circle in the right place is a true joy and fairness!
Maybe Juoksengi is the only place in the world you cross the A.c. with knowledge of doing
it in the right place! A.C. Unity marks the right place every year on the road 400 in
Juoksengi. -Look for the mark. |

The homemade sign that brought back the Arctic circle sign to Juoksengi.
The A.C. Unity made and placed the sign at the right place so tourists and other visitors
to Torne Valley would experience the real Arctic circle crossing. Nowadays an official
sign with the text "Polcirkeln" in swedish is in place. "Polcirkeln"
means Arctic circle. |
