The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The region south of this circle is known as the Antarctic, and the zone immediately to the north is called the Southern Temperate Zone.
- South of the Antarctic Circle, the Sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year and the centre of the Sun is below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year, this is also true within the Arctic Circle, the Antarctic Circle’s counterpart in the Northern Hemisphere.
- The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed and, not taking account of the nutation, currently runs 66°33′51.1″ south of the Equator.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antarctic Circle article was read about 62,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
